Product Description

Lo and behold, Clerks II defies the odds as a sequel that even the most ardent Clerks fans can be happy about. Twelve years after Kevin Smith turned the independent film world upside-down with his $27,000 black-and-white comedy, perpetual slackers Dante (Brian O'Halloran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson) return for another raucous romp in suburbia, but this time there's no beloved Quick Stop mini-mart to ensure their low-level employment. Now they're aimless 33-year-olds flippin' burgers at Mooby's, a fast-food joint with a cow theme that's "udderly delicious." Dante's engaged to his long-time girlfriend but has unexpectedly fallen in love with Mooby's manager Becky (and since she's played by Rosario Dawson, can you blame him?), and Randal's still holding out for life, liberty, and the pursuit of low ambition. The responsibilities of adulthood are rearing their ugly head, and with Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith) still dealing weed and generally being obnoxious, well... something's gotta give, right? The way Smith has written this long-awaited follow-up, the dilemmas of Dante, Randal, and their ongoing friendship are something that anyone can relate to, and with Dawson lighting up the screen (in a role demanded by producer Harvey Weinstein to boost box-office appeal), the movie's romantic chemistry is surprisingly delightful. Rest assured, also, that Smith (shooting mostly in color this time, on a $5 million budget) hasn't forgotten where he came from: Clerks II is jam-packed with the same lewd, crude humor that made Clerks and indie-film phenomenon, and Smith's good-natured sincerity is still on full display, ensuring that only the most prudish viewers could possibly be offended. For everyone else, this is as enjoyable as any sequel could ever hope to be, with amusing cameos by Smith-movie veterans Ben Affleck and Jason Lee, among others. --Jeff Shannon

Not Impressed January 4, 2009
I discovered the original Clerks pretty recently, and found myself utterly impressed. Kevin Smith's knack for dialogue, the way the actors rapport made it seem like they were really friends, the way the plot moved subtly, and the attention to detail in the little indie film made me excited to check out Smith's more recent endeavors. So, naturally, I thought CLERKS II would be my best shot, judging by how good the first one was.

Well, the movie is definitely more mainstream, abandoning the black and white film for vibrant colors and leaving behind the Quick Stop for Mooby's (a fast food joint). The color definitely works, given the new atmosphere, and Kevin Smith at least made an effort to keep the mood of the first one. A lot of the film is pretty much just dudes talking... though Smith doesn't handle "dudes talking" nearly as good as he did in the first one. The dialogue is so stylized, making the acting seem stilted when it's really not, because it seems like Smith tried to hard to capture the witty banter that he wrote lines that no one would ever actually say. So all of it seems very overly scripted, as if every line is a reminder that this is a movie, forcing the audience to not feel connected with the story. Smith does, however, handle emotion better than he did in the first. There is a scene between Dante and Randal that really could stand on its own, and if it wasn't attached to this mostly bogus flick, it would have been a 10/10 classic short. It's a scene where Randal and Dante are in jail, and Randal confesses both his fears and pride in the slacker lifestyle he leads, which leads both of the friends to make a huge decision. I loved that scene, and it was both hilarious and moving... it's a shame the whole film lacked that excellence.

What the rest of the film consists of is disappointingly easy comedy. It's as if Kevin Smith knew he had messed the dialogue up and had to compensate with the most ridiculous things, like your stereotypical sheltered Jesus kid who is really a sex freak, an extremely long scene where someone gives it to a donkey in the middle of Mooby's, and also--wait for it--a full, Broadway style dance scene. Random dancers dancing in the parking lot. I have no idea what in the world Kevin Smith was thinking, but everything before the jail scene (excluding a debate about The Lord of the Rings, which really captured the tone of the first one) was an exercise in ensuring that the audience would have absolutely no connection to the story or the characters. The heart and brain was taken out of the movie, and replaced with pure silliness. I know that some View Askew fans really liked Clerks II, and I'm so happy for those that were able to connect to the film in the same way that they connect to Clerks. But, unfortunately, I could only find a few good tidbits about the movie, which is pretty sad considering how fantastic the first one is.

4/10

Finally, a good sequel and a good Kevin Smith movie December 1, 2008
While I never thought Kevin Smith movies were horrible, I always thought the dialog was too scripted (like Star Wars) and pretentious. Clerks was interesting, but overrated in my opinion.

Then I took a chance on this movie and thought it was great. There are the usual elements of a Kevin Smith movie, including taboo subjects that get to the line and then obliterate it. But there is also sentimentality. Smith does an excellent job of not only making the characters more interesting, mature, authentic, and likable in this sequel, but also ending the movie on a positive note.

IF YOU WANT A GOOD TIME - AGAIN, GOOD TIME, THIS IS IT! August 3, 2008
I saw the trailer to this movie and a brief television review prior to renting it and its predecessor, "Clerks I". I found the term "interspecial erotica" disgusting, yet intriguing. Yeah, the rating is "R" due to alleged "aberrant sexuality" but the movie is so funny that somehow the possibility of crude sexuality didn't scare me away. The movie is hilarious. Now the rest of those clowns in the movie built up an immunity from the first film but I don't see how Rosario Dawson made it through the movie without being admitted to a Level 1 Trauma Center for "Severe Comic Relief, secondary to Uncontrollable Giggling, NOS". I know that I hurt myself just watching it. Was Ben Affleck in the movie? I must have missed him. But that ain't hard to do with a "donkey show" as a co-star and Ben's recent acting credits.

Kevin Smith has a fan in me. I have to close this review with two words" "Donkey Show".....and it is not as graphic as the rating. Be adventurous, use your own judgment, and you will have a great time with this flick!

Clerks has always been one of my all time favorite films, now Clerks II is sitting right up there with it.
This movie is worth having just to find out who Mr. Pillow pants is ?

I dare anyone who hasn't seen this film to guess.
One ring to rule them all.

I LOVE IT !!
