"What the F*** is the internet"?

"This soundtrack pretty much follows the same formula as the "Mallrats" cd, soundbite-song-soundbite-song, but the music is more eclectic. There's numerous other soundtracks I wish did that, like "Dumb and Dumber" and "Northern Exposure". Anyway, The music is as diverse as "PJ Harvey", "Bon Jovi", and "Afroman". Not every song is a winner, but most fit. The big plus though is hearing "Jay", "Will Ferrell", and "Chris Rock" between tracks. It will take you right back to the movie, along with some "doobie snacks"."

"The JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK soundtrack offers a good time. However, if you are looking for "Jungle Love" the way you remember it from PURPLE RAIN, you need to get ICE CREAM CASTLE by [Morris Day] and the Time. The version of the song on this soundtrack is live. It's a good live, but it's different."
BUY THIS SOUNDTRACK (but first see the movie)

"This is not only a great movie but is has a kick...soundtrack. But you really should see the movie first. The cd is full of great audio clips, but some don't make any sense if you haven't seen the movie. And on that note,SEE THIS MOVIE!!! If you love Kevin's movies, this one is the best. It ties all previous ones together (exept Dogma, but it's mentioned). Characters from Dante and Randall to Holden and Banky all make cameos. The movie is great, the cd is great, and Jay and Silent Bob ROCK!!"
Kevin Smith Strikes Back

"The film guru himself Kevin Smith not only gathers a plethora of stars for his next film, he also manages to collect a great group of songs for the accompanying soundtrack. As with Smith's other movie soundtracks, this one has got songs and audio clips from one of the most ecclectic group of artists ever. From Bon Jovi to the Bloodhound Gang to one of the all time greatest songs ever... Magic Carpet Ride. If you are a fan of Smith's movies this CD is definetly for you. If you aren't a fan... you should buy it anyways. The added audio clips are hilarious and if you are not already satisfied, Afroman's new song "Because I Got High" (as heard on the Howard Stern Show) makes your purchase all worth while. So what are you waiting for?!? Snoogans!"
