On their way they join the supposed animal protection association CLIT, consisting of Sissy, Missy, Chrissy and Justice. The man in the team is thrown out of the car by Jay. The two heroes are used by CLIT to serve as scapegoats for a robbery. During this time, the women steal diamonds, Jay and Silent Bob steal a monkey from a laboratory with which they travel on.
Despite the ruse, Jay and Justice develop a love affair, and despite the persecution by Federal Wildlife Marshal Willenholly and the police, the team makes their way to Hollywood . There she informs Ben Affleck about the conditions in the film industry. Jay and Silent Bob let themselves be persuaded to accept money and not do anything about the film. Instead, they use the money to buy a lot of plane tickets and travel to the people who have been insulted on the Internet to beat them up.

Reviews
"[...] A pubescent farewell party full of tasteless jokes, scantily clad girls, drugs, pop culture references and absurd guest appearances from old companions and youth idols."
“Like ping-pong balls, the ideas jump back and forth between the different levels of fiction and reality and lose energy with every impact: It's rarely really original and funny, the plot can shake off its indolence about as badly as the two heroes Jay and Bob. The jokes stay at American Pie zoten level and the blockbuster movie quotes and swipes at the Miramax studio are always a bit too obvious to be really enjoyable. "
“The comedic road movie offers more or less funny situations as well as numerous guest appearances by US stars, which are intended to underline the filmmaker's status. Less anarchistic than its predecessor, the film is just a copy of earlier attempts to paint the picture of a generation that refuses to accept commerce. "
