"Jay and Silent Bob Reboot" is the latest work by the cult Kevin Smith, in which he mercilessly mocks himself. The film is at the same time a sequel, remake and reboot of the "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" (2001), a homage and a parody of Smith's previous filmography, in which, as before, he mocks pop culture, but this time also his own movies, and even personality and private life. I've always had a fondness for people capable of making fun of themselves, especially when they're witty and ruthless, and the film, as I am a big fan of Kevin Smith, has also awakened nostalgia. But, as its name suggests, "Reboot" brings a little new and relies almost exclusively on a rehash of old jokes, aiming at the nostalgic emotions of the audience rather than their intellect. Compared to his early classics, which are never outdated and are equally fresh and fun even after many reruns, I must say that Kevin has lost the edge here. While it isn't bad, it's a quite forgettable and somewhat pathetic movie for one viewing.
