The movie is so meta that it makes fun of reboots and remakes. It's also a bit fun, but in order to enjoy it you need to satisfy a few conditions: 1) remember what the hell happened in Jay and Silent Bob 2) Liking the Jay and Silent Bob movie 3) being down with nostalgic reunions with every actor that Smith and Jay ever knew (or birthed) and guilted into cameo-ing in this and 4) not be freaked out by Val Kilmer's appearance. I vaguely remember finding the JaSB guys funny, in a sidekick sidestory aside kind of way, but I can't say remember a thing about the movie. That's why my advice is to rewatch it before you watch this. If you don't like it, watching the reboot is a waste of time. And then there is the cameo thing. At first you are delighted, then it goes a bit too far, then it goes way overboard and then you stop caring or, worse, you feel bad because you don't know who that guy is and what the reference is.
Bottom line: Alanis Morissette is not in this, which is unforgivable. Other than that, it felt like a long SNL sketch that announces SNL is over. It was partially fun, but the effect on me was : this is either not as fun as the original or the original was as fun as this... so I remember it too fondly. Sorry, Kevin, Deadpool this is not.
