It's not technically a reboot, it's a movie about J&SB trying to get to Hollywood to stop Kevin Smith rebooting Bluntman and Chronic. There is nothing original in the movie and along with the cast members of just about everything Smith has done turning up in this movie so do many of the jokes. But the recycling of jokes is done well, so well you know the punchline is coming but you still laugh anyway. It's been done really well and the thought and effort both Smith and Mewes put into writing the script so that it was relevant today while still being what J&SB have always been is evident. The number of digs they have at Hollywood and the movie industry in general is hilarious and pretty much says what we've all been thinking about Hollywood no longer being original.
It's a whose who of Viewaskew movies though. Everyone from Dante and the Quickstop right up to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, then beyond that to Chris Hemsworth and even Stan Lee turns up in the shit reel during the credits. Smith's daughter and wife are in it, even Mewes daughter gets a role. It might have cost 10mill to make and only made 3mill at the box office but Smith claims the 2 day cinema run was purely an advert for the DVD and I'm sure the DVD sales of this will go through the roof when stoners realise they can take a copy home, get baked and watch it a thousand times over.
