- Yet another spoiler-filled review from the Arizona test screening has popped up over at AICN, check out a non-spoiler snippet:
While everything was plenty funny, it also felt as though Kevin took all the most crowd-pleasing aspects of his film (vulgar humor, references, catchphrases and Jay/Silent Bob) and subtracted the realistic dialogue and storylines from theother films. Well, maybe not Mallrats, which had that Hughesian charm that Kevin wanted it too. Maybe that’s why I felt J&SBSB is more akin to Mallrats than any other film in the series. Like my brother-in-law said when the flick was over, “it was like a typical Kevin Smith film, just not as cerebral.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I really liked it and felt that the flick was Kevin Smith’s version of a mindless comedy/parody, a la Scary Movie/Airplane, just like the Clerks cartoon series was his version of The Simpsons and Mallrats was his version of Sixteen Candles or Pretty in Pink.
