Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie

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

I've been hoping for an animated movie from Kevin Smith since the Clerks cartoon first aired. This isn't it. It looks like garbage, seriously, if it was a 2-5 minute youtube video it would be acceptable to be this badly animated. Kevin needs to get over his "I smoke weed now so everything is the best thing ever" bullshit and start writing things that are actually funny again. He has consistently gotten worse over the last few years. Everything is dumbed down even more than it was. Jay used to be the stand-out idiot in his movies, now everyone is just as dumb. Dude seems to be comfortable being a lazy writer and recycling the same gags over and over again but the guy who made Clerks wouldn't respect the current hack using the name Kevin Smith.

I mean, it's alright. I got a few chuckles out of it. The story itself was good, the cast was great. The art style was weird it looked like something out of Mad Magazine or the Mad TV show from Cartoon Network. The movie was EXTREMELY graphic, and I don't just mean for violence, I mean the other thing too. I guess they figured they could get away with more since they were animated instead of live action, but it was just kinda gross. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. This was definitely the weakest thing to come out of the View Askewniverse.

I honestly rate "Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back" as one of the funniest movies. But this... man I dunno what's up. It's just not funny. None of the plot, gags, situations or lines are funny, Nothing is original. I believe it takes genius to make stupid things funny. It's really lacking here. But enough on the content. What about the animation? Well it's awful. Badly drawn, no style. Not in a funny way like South Park. Badly animated, but not in an aesthetic way like TV-anime where frames are dropped and motion is reduced to the bare minimum using ingenious methods. No, it's just really poor. I like Kevin Smith's movies up to around Clerks 2 then it all went to crap. I actually think Jay and Silent Bob hold their own as characters, while Blunt Man and Chronic is just an empty void of infantile ideas with no backbone.

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.
