Directed

A decade
ago
Kevin
Smith
made
his
debut
with
a bang
in the
shape
of Clerks,
in all
of its
black
&
white
indie
glory.
His
frank,
straightforward
and
often
politically
incorrect
sense
of humour
found
more
than
just
a Generation
X audience
the
world
over
and
launched
his
career
resulting
in movies
like
Mallrats,
Dogma,
and
Jay
&
Silent
Bob
Strike
Back.
Hardly
ever
leaving
his
native
New
Jersey
as a
location,
and
using
regular
actors
(including
chums
Matt
Damon
and
Ben
Affleck
often
passing
through
in cameos),
Smith
always
keeps
things
down
to earth
with
superstar
pretensions
usually
receiving
a good
pummeling.
Clerks
II
picks
up a
decade
after
the
original
with
our
two
lead
slackers
still
working
behind
a serving
counter
–
this
time
a take-away
joint,
due
to the
Quick
Stop
mart
burning
down.
Dante
is about
to leave
for
Florida
and
a sure
thing
marriage,
but
he might
have
a thing
for
his
female
boss.
While
the
film
mostly
consists
of idle
chatting
about
absolutely
anything,
digging
into
personalities
and
illustrating
the
art
of being
an obnoxious
ass,
the
writing
and
acting
is so
enjoyable
that
you’re
disappointed
when
the
end
credits
arrive.
Sex,
marriage,
religion,
race,
movies,
bestiality,
authority,
independence
- anything
goes.
One
of the
many
hilarious
scenes
includes
two
Lord
Of The
Rings
fanboys
getting
laid
into,
and
not
to forget
the
omnipresent
and
ever
classic
Jay
and
Silent
Bob.
It all
feels
so frank
and
easy
that
you’d
expect
Smith
to come
up with
a Clerks
movie
once
a year.
But
I guess
the
TV series
may
be in
development
as we
speak…
Unfortunately
this
DVD
release
contains
no extras
–
I guess
we can
image
it has
a commentary
track
by Silent
Bob(!)
