- 90Washington PostDesson ThomsonWashington PostDesson ThomsonIn keeping with the Smith rules, the movie is irreverent, self-referential, twisted, cheap and tasteless. And, of course, I mean that as the highest compliment.
- 80Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversA blast of comic irreverence that serves as a starring vehicle for two stoner characters who had previously been relegated to the sidelines.
- 75Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachBaltimore SunChris KaltenbachIt's deliciously warped, deceptively smart and undeniably funny. Isn't that enough?
- 75Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanA hit-or-miss affair that starts out wobbly and then gathers comic momentum.
- 75USA TodayMike ClarkUSA TodayMike ClarkIt's gratifying to see a comedy can have no redeeming social value yet be full of hearty laughs.
- 63Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyPhiladelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyFrisky, raunchy and frequently riotous.
- 60SalonStephanie ZacharekSalonStephanie ZacharekAt times fun but mostly maddeningly uneven, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back feels less like a full-fledged movie than a side project Smith took on to amuse himself and his buddies.
- 50Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThere are lots of hilarious, off-the-wall incidents, and the film has a likable freewheeling spirit to go with its knockabout plot. But the film isn't as remotely funny as it means to be.
- 38Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanCharlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanI don't know if the new movie is Smith's weakest. It's certainly his most disposable, a warmed-over hash of jokes that will have Mewes fans rolling with laughter and the rest of us rolling our eyes in disbelief.
- 25Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittEen fans of Jay and Silent Bob may find the story too slender and the jokes too repetitive to be much fun.
