If we are still talking about J&SB, I felt that it was slightly disappointing.  Even though I own the first four flicks, and am a huge fan, something seemed to be missing.  First of all, the story was so lame.  I think Jason Biggs summed it up best when he said,"There's a script?"  Smith, who in my opinion, is one of the most brilliant writers of his time, somehow forgot what got him here.  Strong dialogue driven performances.  J&SB let itself be carried by cameos, and cheap hollywood ripoffs.  There were, of course, some great moments as well.  The allusions to the past 4 flicks were great, and some of the cameo's were fun, but overall, it was lacking.

Now that the final installment of the New Jersey Chronicals has past, I hope Smith falls back on his writing ability for his next movie because as he will no longer be able to rely on the familurarity of his characters.
