Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-02-27      Not What I thought it would be. Don't be fooled into thinking that this is the next Jay & Silent Bob movie. This is actually just a couple of episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation featuring Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. Fortunately, I like Degrassi and as a TV series it's not that bad, it's more young teen situations and less off the wall adult humor that I was expecting. |  | Reviewed on 2008-01-20      Unexpected Jay and Silent Bob Do Degrassi The Next Generation (Unrated)
I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this DVD. I saw Jay and Silent Bob and expected something more like Clerks. I was willing to give it a chance however. Unfortunately, 20 minutes in was more than enough for me. The "after school special" quality of the show was way to much to endure while waiting for an occasional spot from Kevin Smith or Jason Mewes. Being a fan, it's hard to give this a bad review, but I guess you can't make everyone happy all the time. |  | Reviewed on 2007-12-15      Meh I remember a reference to Degrassi from something else involving Kevin Smith so when I saw this I thought it would be really cool. I had a hard time trying to figure out what exactly was going on. It was like The OC meats Saved by the Bell (The New Class) meets Jay and Silent Bob. There was so much teenage drama I felt it was just exaggerated. Keven Smith is only in the first episode for about 5 min. The other two episodes have Jason acting like Jay hitting on HS girls, although I have heard Jason/Jay are totally different personalities.
I never really got into the Degrassi series although I tried to enjoy the regular tv show. I think I am just too old to appreciate it now, although I still like the Saved by the Bell series that I grew up watching.
If it was Jay and Silent Bob do Bayside High this movie would have been 5 stars for sure... cause the Degrassi crew is a bunch of clown shoes. |  | Reviewed on 2007-12-03      A little slow, but okay... This is a three-episode arc of a serial television melodrama/teen soap. As such, it wasn't going to be "tidy" as a video release. Those looking for Kevin Smith/Jay & Silent Bob won't be disappointed--but he's definitely created a character for himself here. Smith's relationship with one of the Degrassi mothers (ignoring the fact that he is in fact married in real life, and is playing himself) overwhelms most of his camera time, and as a non-regular watcher of the show, I have to wonder how badly this little subplot derailed an ongoing story where that woman seemed to be happily engaged going into these episodes.
All in all, it's a fun diversion, a great chance to see Smith make fun of himself and have fun with these characters at a time when "Clerks II" wasn't yet a glint in the eye of the moviegoing public and there was no clear sense of whether or not Jay and Bob would ever be back.
|  | Reviewed on 2007-12-02      A Set for the true Kevin Smith fan Because there were too many positive reviews and a few negative reviews I decided to write this one. I am one of Kevin Smith's biggest fans and own alot of his stuff (DVD's, Comic Books, Action Figures, etc.); however, I decided against owning this DVD set. It is not because the set is not good, it is because it is something I would probably never watch again. The entire DVD consists of 3 or 4 episodes of Degrassi High (A canadian ripoff of 'Saved By The Bell'). In this feature Kevin Smith plays himself. Smith is asked by one of Degrassi's main characters to come to Degrassi High and shoot a movie. In rolls, Jay and Silent Bob (TA-DA!), then the plot becomes boring. Jason Mewes has basically a cameo in this entire production, and Smith's performances are extremely weak (Shocking, I know). For the rest of the episodes, we concentrate mostly on the kids of Degrassi High with Smith only make brief appearances.
Unless you are a fan of Degrassi High, or want to see what Kevin Smith might have looked like in an episode of Saved By The Bell, DO NOT BUY THIS!!!
Just as a comparision Kevin had a much better performance in 'Bottoms Up' (with Paris Hilton and Jason Mewes) and an Oscar winning performance in 'Catch and Release' (with Jennifer Garner) when compared to this garbage. He was even better in 'Vulgar' (which I thought completely sucked) than his performance in this video. |  |
