An average movie

I already saw this movie but since it was ages ago, I was quite eager to give it a second chance. On top of that, I'm planning to watch soon 'Jay and Silent Bob Reboot' so I thought it was a good opportunity to finally revisit this movie. The first time around, I had some rather high expectations but, to be honest, I thought the damned thing was seriously underwhelming after all. I mean, to make a movie centering on these 2 characters was such a great idea and the whole thing definitely had some potential and it could have been a blast if it would have been developed properly. However, the end-result was eventually a big mess. Well, after all these years, I was finally able to appreciate the damned thing. I mean, it is still a big mess and at least half of it didn't work at all but I still love these characters and some bits were actually quite brilliant. For example, the light saber fight with Jay AKA Chronic against Mark Hamill AKA Cocknocker AKA Luke Skywalker was just epic. I also loved all these little scenes involving Randal and Dante. I wish Kevin Smith could have come up with a better story though because the whole concept of this group of hot girls being some international diamond thieves was just so lame. It's too bad because the idea of Jay falling in love was actually pretty cool as you could see how it would impact his usual appalling behavior with women. That an orangutan had to tag along for the rest of the movie afterwards was hardly surprising but it was also barely entertaining either. Anyway, to conclude, it could have been great but it's definitely not, I think I'm being slightly too generous with this movie but, if you are a fan of Kevin Smith's work, it is actually worth a look.
