Best movie I've seen all year. The scene where everyone is dancing to the jackson 5 was the best part of anymovie I've seen Since moonwalker...of course I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan so it touched a soft spot. I think all Kevin Smith fans will love this movie it was filled with fun and laughter I just watched it for the second time this week and I'm going back to watch it again tomorrow

Great movie, and has more depth and plot to it then the first. although I love both movies. The actors are older and shows that characters dont necessarily grow with ages, usually just their disfunctions. anyone that didnt see the depth to it has their head up their butt
