What good are reviews anyhow? How is it important, before you see the film, to read that "Kevin Smith showed a mastery of the niche-kitsch movie genre"? Basically, all you're going to do with these reviews is either decide whether to see the movie or not, or spout off to others and regurgitate the analysis (like you might quote Vickar's "Work in Essex County" page 98), acting all knowledgeable about a movie you haven't seen.

So the only thing a reviewer can do is suggest whether you should or should not see the film. J&SB^2 is good. Not as good as any of the other View Askew films in my opinion, but mostly because each film in the Askewniverse falls into a different genre, and the slapstick self-referential genre isn't one I enjoy as much. That said, its a really good example of the genre, and not too stupid (read: Airplane 2).

There's lots I could say in a conversation about the movie, but why skirt the line between discourse and spoilage? If you saw it, talk to me. I'd love to gab. If you haven't seen it and you thought you might want to, then see it. It's not bad. If you thought maybe you should catch it on video, then do that. It's not so exceptional that it'd rock the world of a non Kevin Smith fan, but it's a fun romp.Pity this is the one the series ends on though. Of all the films, it has the least catharsis.

If you want a more traditional review (that I happen to completely agree with) check out Benjy's take.
