Pros: It's good to see the old characters again; Dawson, Fehrman, various cameos (especially Sykes)
Cons: More than a few frustrating moments
Summary: Some ten years after Dante Hicks and Randal Graves vowed to do more with their lives besides work in a New Jersey strip mall, they still work in the convenience store and video store in that strip mall. They finally get their wish in a way in ... read more

Pros: Everything.
Cons: None.
Summary: In 1994 a young filmmaker by the name of Kevin Smith released the film Clerks. Like all beginning filmmakers he hoped that he would be successful, and that his film would find an audience. Kevin Smith wasn’t completely sure if this would happen. ... read more

Pros: Kevin Smith really delivered here
Cons: That poor donkey!
Summary: A while back, I had read that writer/director Kevin Smith was not going to do a sequel to his debut hit movie Clerks, especially after the failure of the cartoon series based on the film. However, Smith finally chose to revisit these characters ... read more

Pros: It's Kevin Smith! Jay and Silent Bob! Dante and Randall
Cons: Some may not appreciate the subtle humor of Kevin Smith as much as his fans.
Summary: Its been over ten years since director Kevin Smith came on the scene with his witty low budget indie film Clerks. Clerks introduced us to an alternate New Jersey universe of sorts, the "view askew" world inhabited by slackers and n'er do wells who ... read more

Pros: Jay and Silent Bob moments
Cons: Poor acting by male leads, contrived dialogue, 4th grade potty and sex humor
Summary: It's been how many years since "Clerks" first came out? 12 years. It was Kevin Smith's first attempt at a movie (ignoring "Mae Day"), and since it was his first, you could forgive the original's campy atmosphere, the sub-standard acting, and try to look ... read more

Pros: Hilarious; Kevin Smith's writing and directing; excellent performances; Rosario Dawson is a goddess
Cons: Not as good as Clerks 1; vulgarity, beastiality, and racial humor may offend some.
Summary: 1994's Clerks is one of my favorite movies of all time, and probably my favorite comedy of all time. Entirely shot in black and white, the film conveys extremely graphic vulgarity, but has a charm and underlining message that makes it ... read more

Pros: A geniune sense of feel-goodness. Vintage Smith word-play. Rosario Dawson. Jay and Silent Bob.
Cons: Trademark geek banter was few and far between. Overreaches for the shock moments.
Summary: I remember a time when my chief concern in life was what action figures (not toys) I wanted to play with: Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Wars, or Thundercats. Undeniably the decision was always in favor of that Galaxy Far, Far Away. ... read more

Pros: Rosario Dawson, some genuinely hilarious moments
Cons: A bit too much at times, definitely not for the easily offended
Summary: Before reading even a single word of this review, you have most likely already made up your mind about Kevin Smith's movies. Smith has been around for over twelve years now and, with the exception of the misguided Jersey Girl, has made a very ... read more

Jul 25 '06
Pros: funny and fun
Cons: not the experience of the original, feels old and worn
Summary: In 1994, when Kevin Smith burst upon the national consciousness with Clerks, the medium and the message were one. Here was a 24-year-old film-school drop-out who'd funded his freshman film with refunded film-school tuition, the sale of his comic-book ... read more

Jul 24 '06
Pros: Hilarious comedic exchanges from an ensemble cast
Cons: Absolutely not for the easily offended
Summary: Clerks 2 is a movie that clearly does not try to please everybody. There really isn't even another movie besides the original Clerks that comes to mind here as a comparison -- so if you liked the original at all, the sequel absolutely ... read more

Jul 24 '06
Pros: Acting, mostly funny
Cons: Missing fast paced dialogue made famous in Smith's other movies
Summary: How many sequels can you say rival the original movie? Yes most pale in comparison and this one is no different, actually it is not quite in the vein of the original either. The first Clerks is a witty plot-less movie about 20-somethings bitter about ... read more

Jul 23 '06
Pros: Funny in parts, plus the usual cameos
Cons: Weak theme & just plain vulgar and blasphemous; Forgivable if funny.
Summary: It pains me to say this, but I’m resigning from the Kevin Smith unofficial fan club; no more will I blindly pay full price to catch a film he’s written and directed on opening night. It ain’t all “Clerks 2” fault, ‘cuz it ... read more

Jul 23 '06
Pros: Funny, funny, funny and funny.
Cons: Not up there with the original, ending a tad weak.
Summary: When I first heard that there was going to be a Clerks II, I was opposed. The original Clerks was one of those instances where comedic lightning strikes only once in a blue moon and the whole thought of trying to catch that bolt of lightning again and ... read more

Pros: This movie is a non-stop laugh riot, from one scene to the next.
Cons: The overabundance of offensive language and sexual references will probably turn lots of people off.
Summary: Kevin Smith's movie career is well known. He's done Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and many other movies. His most recent foray into directing is the much anticipated Clerks II. All the characters from the last movie are here: Dante, Randall, Jay, ... read more
