I'm sad to hear that this is the last of Kevin Smith's Jersey flicks, because I love these characters and almost feel that I know them. For me, this film was on the same level as _Mallrats_: funny, definitely entertaining, worth buying on DVD, but not on the same level as _Clerks_, _Chasing Amy_, and _Dogma_. It *is* great to see so many of the old characters again. There are a lot of truly funny in-jokes for film lovers, and you get to see stars like Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, James Van Der Beek, and Jason Biggs goofing on themselves and each other (my personal favourites were Gus Van Sant's and Mark Hammill's self-mocking cameos), but there isn't much meaning. Even _Clerks_, for all its snarky witticisms, had something to say. You could also tell that Kevin Smith knows his fans are mostly young guys, judging by the overly-long Charlie's Angels-style segments. I guess I'm a little disappointed that this last hurrah lacked the delicate balance of comedy and depth seen in his best work. I don't know what I was thinking; it's Jay & Bob fercryinoutloud. I'm still a major fan and can't wait to see what View Askew does next. 6/10
