Clerks II (2006)

The original is always the best. but this comes very close.

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.

It's the Good Book Sirs.

A long time in the making/waiting, Clerks II finally makes it here.
If you enjoy the New Jersey Kevin Smith series, you'll enjoy the conclusion(?) of the Clerks' story.

Taking place in a Mooby's restaurant (brought to fame in "Dogma") it continues the story of the two clerks from the convenience store, and of course Jay and Silent Bob, this time "new and improved."

Nothing is sacred in this installment as the continued stresses of working in the food industry and daily life is brought to a crude/vulgar light. Several debates rise over the Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, racial slurs, and inter-species erotica.
Without revealing too much, just rely on the story to have your reoccurring themes, interlacing stories, and ground-breaking confrontations that are the norm for the series.

And this movie has it's share of cameos. Whether it's Ben Affleck or Wanda Sykes with Earthquake, be sure to be surprised.

Is the customer always right? Perhaps. But don't "mess" with people that handle your food. And watch out for Pillow Pants. June 11, 2008

HDDVD Died but this fill is still HD

While HD DVD has officaly bowed out of the fight, You can still pickup great HD DVD movies for your player. Clerks II has a plethora of great extras and the great High Definition picture enthusiasts have come to love.

Clerks II serves as a great response to the original and the Cast was spectacular with many great cameos! May 12, 2008

An okay sequel...it's funny, but does not match the brilliance of the original

Like so many sequels, this movie falls too easily into the unavoidable traps set for all sequels. The harder you try to follow a great film, the more obvious it is that you're trying too hard. The original Clerks was a brilliant movie because...it just was! There was no flash, no glitz, no "Hollywood". It was a great, raw, perceptive slice of America (or Jersey, anyway). And sure, there was humor that was not G rated, but it was done in a way that made you respect and care about these dysfunctional misfits. Clerks 2 was too much of an effort to "make a sequel" using the same characters, etc. Don't get me wrong. It is a funny movie, and a reasonably good movie. Standing on its own, it could almost rate 4 stars. But when stacked up against its five star predecessor, it falls way short...it's barely adequate. Still, it's better than some of Kevin Smith's work like "Mallrats" or "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back". Those movies are inane teenybopper shlonk-fluff films that are beneath Smith's talent. This movie does not fall into that class. This was a movie that tried to be in the same class as Clerks...it just tried a bit too hard. There are funny spots. There is some decent acting...O'Halloran and Anderson continued their characters well...Jay and Silent Bob stayed obscene and silent, respectively (and funny)...the geek Elias was good...the donkey gave a performance that deserves an Oscar. So, it's okay...funny...but it's just an average sequel.

What happened to Clerks?

This movie was barley funny and definitely not as good as the original. It's not even the same type of humor hat made Clerks so great. Don't bother, Kevin Smith has fallen off track. His worst movie to date, by far. April 22, 2008
