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.

While Jay has always introduced Silent Bob as his "hetero life mate," it is actually Randall that is connected to Dante. It's obvious that he will miss his friend, and Anderson makes us miss him too.

...Probably the funniest film Smith has done since the original - it's chock full of childish humour and witty observations on pop-culture - but there's something real beneath all of that as well. Something, dare it be said, touching.

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.

Despite a handful of great jokes, this is ultimately disappointing - it's badly plotted, badly acted and occasionally downright embarrassing.

...less profound than it is uneven, an intermittently satisfying mix.

Raunch only works well if there is an undercurrent of substance at hand to lift the bottom feeding. "Clerks II" has no problem plunging into its messy depths while also, somehow, generating a groundswell of affection for its messy characters.

A film with both fart and heart, and is highly recommended for the willing and able.

The duds-to-gags ratio is way too high and the general aesthetic (visual and verbal) way too crummy.
