When Dante (Brian O'Halloran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson) get a restraining order to keep the punchy Jay (Jason Mewes) and his hetero life-mate, Silent Bob (Kevin Smith), from selling drugs in front of the Quick Stop convenience store, their lives are suddenly empty. They find new purpose when their friend, Brodie (Jason Lee), informs them a movie is being made featuring two infamous characters based on their likenesses.

After visiting one of the creators of the Bluntman and Chronic, Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck), they set out to get what fat movie cash they deserve and hopefully put an end to people slandering them on the Internet. Along the way, they learn the rules of the road and ride with a group of gorgeous jewel thieves, and incur the wrath of a hapless wildlife marshal for liberating an orangutan named Suzanne.

The quest takes them from New Jersey to Hollywood where a showdown involving the police, the jewel thieves, and the Bluntman and Chronic filmmakers will decide the fate of Suzanne, Jay, Silent Bob, and their good names.

Ali Quotes

• "You know, once you get into the Kevin Smith "family," you're in forever. Him and his wife Jen, I love so much. We've talked about it a little bit, and he's just so excited to see the show, and see where it's going. I've asked him for pointers on Comic-Con, and that whole world, but I think he's such a genius, and I absolutely loved working with him."

• "You know it is so fun. I was so excited to work with Kevin Smith and at the end of the day you just can't take yourself that seriously."

Facts

• Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, one of the lesbian jewel thieves, is Kevin Smith's real-life wife, making her film debut. Several scenes of her making out with Ali Larter were among those cut to prevent the film from getting an NC-17 rating.

• Heather Graham was originally offered Shannon Elizabeth's role, but she turned it down because she couldn't figure out why her character would fall in love with Jay.

• When Chrissy pulls a knife on Jay he says "What with the knife, we havin' cake or something?" This line was originally written for the train scene in Dogma, another Kevin Smith movie.

• Filmed in California and Ali's hometown of New Jersey, USA.

Critic Reviews

"A mess, yes, but a funny and highly enjoyable one." - (Read Full Review: Channel 4)	"The perfect curtain call for these much-loved, wise but oh so stupid slackers." - (Read Full Review: Time Out)
"Has the lazy, bric-a-brac atmosphere of one of those blown-off movies made during down time on some bigger affair." - (Read Full Review: Variety)	"The relentless torrent of foul language--and not just from Jay--becomes numbing and finally makes the film seem more crass than amusing." - (Read Full Review: Los Angeles Times)
