Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie

So unless you're a Jay and silent Bob cinephile. I wouldn't recommend this unless you like Neil Gaiman and him saying p***y

There isn't much work from Kevin Smith that I don't like and I love the jay and silent bob characters but honestly I just found this boring, referencing as many of his own movies as possible referencing as many superhero movies as possible and.... no actually I think that is about it, I did laugh around 3 or 4 times throughout but I had to force them and even afterwards I just felt kinda dirty, like "omg did I even just laugh at that" moments, wasn't anything like the comics or anything was more like a bad episode of the Clerks animated series, the kind of episode you would press skip on if it actually was from that series, kevin smith constantly popping up to explain to the audience how they don't feel the same was as their comicbook counterparts I just felt this was lazy rushed and for the sake of making an animated movie rather then doing it because it would be hilarious or quality content. Give me the comics or even the movie but the animated movie, no thanks.

The highlight of Kevin Smith's Comedy Writing has to be Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. This movie split my sides from beginning to end.

This latest effort, looks like a hash and rehash.

Back in 2001, pot humor was fresh and edgy. Nowadays with 26 states having some legal medical pot on their books and a rapid number of states getting ready to legalize, it's so ho hum now. Time for a new shtick.

The villains. Ugh. The villains. Puerile stuff. Somebody needs to explain to Kevin Smith that he's a bit over-fixated on Dick jokes & cum humor. He comes off as a 12 year old who just discovered his first wet dream.

There are too many in-jokes that are obviously derived from his podcasts to be of much entertainment value to me. Honestly, I tried listening to a couple of the podcasts and found them to be, voilà, a lot of Dick jokes and pot humor. It gets old fast, as did this cartoon.

The animation quality is what you'd expect for $69K.

Disappointingly stupid. I expected BAD but this was worse than that. Full of forced jokes as well as cheap animation

This movie was a first time watch for me and while I found it to be good, it was also very disappointing especially given that Kevin Smith wrote it.

Positives for Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie! (2013): The animation here looks silly, but it matches the tone and approach of the movie. There is some investment with seeing Jay and Silent Bob playing superheroes and fighting supervillains. And finally, the comedy in this movie is pretty good for the most part.

Negatives for Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie! (2013): This movie feels like it was directed by someone who didn't care or understand these characters and that's because the movie wasn't directed by Kevin Smith. All of the humor feels like the most generic body humor that would coming from a 13-year old edge lord which is odd given that Kevin Smith wrote the screenplay. It honestly feels like the director took Smith's screenplay and chose to go a different direction with the material.

Overall, while I had some fun with this animated movie, I also can't get over the fact that this movie was a big disappointment for me. I didn't hate the movie, but I was expecting some much more from it.
