Movie Info
You can take the clerks out of the Quick Stop, but you just can't take the Quick Stop out of the clerks as Dante (Brian O'Halloran) and Randall (Jeff Anderson) prove in this long-awaited sequel to Kevin Smith's breakthrough comedy. Years after we last saw them, Dante is still toiling behind the counter at a New Jersey convenience store and Randall is still annoying customers at the video shop next door -- or at least they are until a fire burns down the strip mall, forcing Dante and Randall to

While the film is rude and raucous throughout, it doesn't have a bad bone in its body, providing a joyous, celebratory swansong for the beloved characters.
Top CriticClerks II strikes its deepest chords when it appeals to the emotional security of a passionately provincial status quo.
It has a more authentic everyday feel than a lot of movies. But it's also very talky and philosophical for a comedy, which would be okay, except the philosophy is kind of shallow.
I like these characters a lot.
Smith, an inherent optimist, has made a movie full of crude humor that also manages to explore the enduring qualities of friendship.
What [Smith] knows, better than anyone out there, is how rudely funny and deliriously self-deluding those types can be.
What's truly unforgivable is the willful regression
More Empire than Jedi.
Notably dubbed as the "gayest film ever" when it premiered at Cannes, "Clerks II" is nonetheless a slight improvement on Smith's original film.
More crude banter about sex, movies, drugs.
Clerks II will resonate with viewers in Smith's age range (mid-thirties) in a way that goes beyond comedy.
Smith sadly de-evolves much of the groundwork he laid for "Clerks" and its characters and then, like a game of Jenga, smashes it all down by basically setting them up as typical Hollywood concepts...
Smith's attempt to get all introspective about growing up yields a plot that is at core rather mawkish and cliched - but when it comes to writing hilariously juvenile lines, he still has the old magic.
Deliberately disgusting, scatological, profane and vulgar, which makes this critic a bit embarrassed to admit that he found himself frequently laughing out loud at such offensive and obscene material.
Deliberately disgusting, scatological, profane and vulgar, which makes this critic a bit embarrassed to admit that he found himself frequently laughing out loud at such offensive and obscene material.
There's little point in trying to convince Smith acolytes that quantity doesn't mean quality, but the advertised six hours of extras aren't half as fun as those on the Clerks 10th anniversary edition.

- Randal Graves: [to Dante] You're my best friend, and I love you... In a totally heterosexual way.
- Jay: [to Silent Bob] Yeah, right.
