I can't believe this movie is fifteen years old. Oh my God, what have I been doing with my life?Existential crisis aside, I love this movie. It's probably my second favorite of the entire Askew-niverse.
Slackers Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) want nothing more than to sling a few dime bags while slouching against the wall of the Kwik Stop but a restraining order prevents them from going near it. In desperation, they turn to comic shop owner Brodie (Jason Lee) who tells them they should fight back with the funds they received from a movie deal about characters based on them, Bluntman and Chronic. This is news to the less-than-dynamic duo who set out to track down the comic's creators. Holden (Ben Affleck) points them in the direction of Hollywood, after a helpful introduction to the Internet. Along the way, Jay falls head-over-heels for Justice (Shannon Elizabeth), a sexy jewel thief and the pair run afoul of Federal Wildlife Marshal Willenholly (Will Ferrell) after rescuing an orangutan from an animal research facility.
There are so many cameos and movie references within references that it would take ages to list them all. You'd be better off just watching the movie and seeing how many of them you can catch.
