‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back’ was written and directed by Smith, and stars Jason Mewes, Ben Affleck, Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, Ali Larter, Will Ferrell, Jason Lee, Judd Nelson, George Carlin, Carrie Fisher, Seann William Scott, Mark Hamill, Tracy Morgan, Matt Damon, and Chris Rock.
Smith has never been a box office draw and that is perplexing, as his films average $18.8 million. He’s able to attract top tier talent for his projects and Smith’s movies have gone on to represent a generation. Yet, a very small group of people support his films.
