Reviews for Clerks II
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.
09/21/06
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.
08/31/06
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.
08/30/06
A film with both fart and heart, and is highly recommended for the willing and able.
08/25/06
The duds-to-gags ratio is way too high and the general aesthetic (visual and verbal) way too crummy.
08/23/06
Yes, it's clunky, silly and often downright obscene. But there's a depth of character that makes it well worth seeing.
08/17/06
Smith’s politically incorrect references are never malicious or fueled by anger.
08/14/06
The mildest and sweetest of the Jay and Silent Bob canon.
08/09/06
You can't go home again. But it sure is nice to visit.
08/05/06
Clerks II is just as raucous, rude, crude, vulgar, random, and shockingly funny as you would expect, but it is also surprisingly moving at times.
08/05/06
Clerks II strikes its deepest chords when it appeals to the emotional security of a passionately provincial status quo.
08/03/06
Top CriticI loved "Clerks" and I was reluctant to see "Clerks II," but Smith manages to revisit his stomping grounds in genuine sophomoric fashion, while leaving it with a nostalgic maturity at the same time.
08/02/06
The adolescent vulgarities are just a smokescreen for a more serious discussion of a kind of mid-life crisis.
07/30/06
Randal and Dante were funny 12 years ago; now they look and sound like MySpace predators.
07/29/06
This joyous jeer-athon, filled with...dirty-word laden depth and instantly quotable moments... is a love letter to the unbridled ecstasy in speaking one's mind.
07/27/06
Wouldn't it have been nice just to wonder whatever happened to Dante and Randal? Instead, Clerks II gives us answers.
07/27/06
While the film isn't nearly his best, it's undeniable fun to see the clerks ranting again and rattling off the kind of raunchy, spot-on observations only Smith could think up.
