Clerks

this was a great movie for its time looking back on it now it is so so but man it opened the door for a great man to make many more movies

Our family had just been hit with another development in a devastating event which we had been trying to deal with for 10 years when "Clerks I" and "Clerks II" was delivered to our house. If you just want to decompress, chill out, and think about absolutely nothing "grown up", this is the movie for you. An hour and a half of sheer hilarity with some of the best deadpan acting since Charlie Chaplin. A rollicking good time. Part of the beauty of shoestring budget films is that every take must count. And whatever is deleted is just too funny for the world to handle. Thank you, Kevin Smith, for giving us a little while to just be silly.

For anyone that's actually worked retail, this is an excellent choice. In some parts, it's painfully accurate; in others, it's a realization of what many wish they could do and not lose the job at which they work. (At least it was like that for me.) Upon the first viewing, it's obvious that it's low budget; but once you think about it, do you really need a budget to describe a day in the life of your average Clerk? Not really.

All that aside; it's a hilarious, albeit filthy movie. Additionally the special edition is chock full o' extras, including the somewhat more depressing director's cut.

This is the definitive version of Clerks. if you are anything like me, when you first told other people about Clerks they probably said "Clerks, never heard of it." And when you said that Kevin Smith was the last saving bastion of the crumbling film world, they said "Kevin Who??"
Well now that all of those saps have finally caught up to the rest of us who are leading the pack. You can now get this and stay one step ahead again. The theatrical release, The first Clerks cut and a superb doco. All are priceless.
Even though there are some young sad Emo's out there saying "Clerks II, there was never a Clerks I"

Like a great man once said "I pity da fool"

10/10 for this 3-Disc, 10th Anniversary set and all of it's glorious extras.

"I'm not even supposed to be here!" Says Dante, who must replace his boss at the convenience store on his day off. Witty dialogue, annoying customers, and perplexing twentysomething existentialism ensues. Kevin Smith's breakthrough award winning movie just goes to show you that with as little as 2000 dollars, you can make a sundance nominated movie.
