Its just another day for Dante Hicks, until his boss calls him into
work at the Quickstop on his day off. With a hockey game at 2, and
his girlfriend still hacking him about going to back to school. Dante
begins to get into a bigger frenzy when he learns his ex-girlfriend,
Caitlin, is getting married. With his always late accomplice Randall
strolling in to work at the video store, Dante is left with no choice but
to bend the rules a little with work, customers, and most of all his
love life. Can he get away with it all?
T.S. and Brodie are two suburban high-school friends,
both of whom are dumped by their respective girlfriends on the
same day. They then go to the local mall to commiserate and hang
out, as they often do. Meeting up with punk troublemakers Jay and
Silent Bob (played by director Kevin Smith), they collectively hatch a
plan to wreak mall havoc and win their loves back. Smith's film is
filled with sophomoric and scatological humor, hip 'alternative'
music, and pop cultural icons ranging from video games and film
(Star Wars and Batman) to comics (including Stan 'The Man' Lee, as
himself).
Holden and Banky are best friends and authors of a popular
comic book called "Bluntman and Chronic" (based on Jay and Silent
Bob of "Clerks" and "Mallrats" fame). Holden falls in love with Alyssa,
also a comic book artist, who happens to be a lesbian. Holden's new
relationship with Alyssa strains his life-long friendship with Banky,
and soon the relationship between Holden and Alyssa hits a wall
due to Holden not being able to deal with her past.
The great grand niece of Jesus Christ is enlisted to prevent
two angels from reentering Heaven and thus undoing the fabric of the
universe. Along the way, she is aided by two prophets, Jay and Silent
Bob. With the help of Rufus, the 13th Apostle, they must stop those
who stand in their way and prevent the angels from entering Heaven.
When Dante and Randal (of Clerks fame) get a restraining
order to keep the punchy Jay and his hetero life-mate, Silent Bob,
from selling drugs in front of the Quick Stop convenience store, their
lives are suddenly empty. They find new purpose when their friend,
Brodie, informs them a movie is being made featuring two infamous
characters based on their likenesses. After visiting one of the
creators of the Bluntman and Chronic, Holden McNeil, they set out to
get what fat movie cash they deserve and hopefully put an end to
people slandering them on the Internet. Along the way, they learn the
rules of the road from a hitchhiking George Carlin, ride with a group
of gorgeous jewel thieves, and incur the wrath of a hapless wildlife
marshal for liberating an orangutan named Suzanne. The quest
takes them from New Jersey to Hollywood where a showdown
involving the police, the jewel thieves, and the Bluntman and Chronic
filmmakers will decide the fate of Suzanne, Jay, Silent Bob, and their
good names.
