Not bad at all. Even the reviews that aren't kind point out that it's a funny movie for somebody, if not them. : : Well, except that one critic who wrote the review Ming linked below. Yipes - what an unhappy cuss. : : I've gotta say, though - one of my favorite reviews was the 0 star Newsday review. Granted, it's historic for us (our first!), but that's not what does it for me. What does do it for me is the fact that it pointed out folks were applauding during the screening. Shit, that's a classy admission for a critic who hated the movie. : : Here at View Askew, even in defeat, we're able to find a little victory. : : So.... : : What the hell are you doing sitting here reading this? Get your ass to the nearest theater and go see 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'! Again! : : And pray to your respective gods for a sweet opening weekend. : : Me? I'm looking for ten to fifteen mill. : : I think we can do it. : : And a closing thought: most of the reviews I read (especially the negative ones) point out that this movie is for folks who liked our other movies. And that sentiment is correct. I made this movie for you guys as much as I did for me - probably more for you, actually. Please enjoy the flick, with my humble thanks. You put us where we are today - and I'm so very grateful for that every moment of my blessed life. : : And now that this flick's out of my hair, let's spend some quality time together, shall we? It's been too long.
