Every Kevin Smith Movie, Ranked
Updated September 13, 2022 to add Clerks III.
Over nearly 30 years, director, actor, writer, producer, and podcaster Kevin Smith has made 14 films*, many set in the same shared New Jersey universe inhabited by the characters Jay and Silent Bob (played by Jason Mewes and Smith, respectively). Though critics have certainly praised some of his films, "divisive" may be the best descriptor to apply to his work. In the gallery above, we rank those and all other movies directed by Smith in order by Metascore from worst-reviewed to best.
* Plus one NFT, KillRoy Was Here, which was not reviewed and is omitted from this gallery.
In the middle of a roadshow-style tour of North America (that continues through early 2020), Smith's newest film returns its title characters to the screen for the first time in 13 years. Framed as a very meta sequel/reboot to 2001's Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back, Reboot finds the pair discovering that the first movie based on their likenesses is being remade by director Kevin Smith (yes, the one you're thinking of). It's another cameo-filled affair, but critics are finding less to like this time around.
“Awkward and unfunny in exceptionally long stretches, Reboot probably won’t turn his diehard fans against him. But it’s unlikely to win him any new converts either.” —Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, A.V. Club
