Even as the lone wolf reviewer who considers Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back a guilty pleasure of the most shameless order, it saddens me that I can't offer Kevin Smith's latest Jersey hurl similar props.

Reviews for Clerks II
Simply a pretty darn good, utterly and honestly raunchy comedy with a heart like Minnie the Moocher's -- as big as a whale.
07/26/06
Most of the dialogue is geared towards young teenagers who mindlessly argue about things that really don't matter in real life.
07/26/06
I can't say I've spent the last dozen years desperate to catch up with these guys. But it's nice to have them around again.
07/26/06
It's a horrible sequel, on par with, say, Caddyshack II in terms of desperation and comic failure.
07/26/06
...Lewdness for lewdness sake...
07/26/06
Smith has nothing original left to say and no original ways left to say it.
07/25/06
Ultimately, Smith finally achieves that perfect balance between humor and heart that he's been dancing towards with all his films.
07/25/06
Clerks II's sound look at stunted growth doesn't get around that these personalities are less likable in their 30s than in their 20s.
07/24/06
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.
07/24/06
Top CriticI like these characters a lot.
07/24/06
Top CriticSmith, an inherent optimist, has made a movie full of crude humor that also manages to explore the enduring qualities of friendship.
07/24/06
Top CriticKevin Smith heads back behind the counter for the amusing but largely unnecessary sequel to his 1994 hit.
07/24/06
Although it's as funny as any movie this summer, Clerks II has to struggle to achieve the level of universality that the original "Clerks" seemed to hit effortlessly.
07/24/06
Smith still has nothing to say, at least nothing printable, either as writer/director or as the dumb (as opposed to dumber) half of Jay and Silent Bob.
07/24/06
skewers political correctness within a profane framework that unwaveringly champions middle class values with an infectious verve
07/24/06
A more than worthy display of Smith's ear for dialogue, pop-culture intelligence, and ability to push the envelope of decency to the breaking point, and, yes, it is utterly hilarious in an alternately gut-busting and wry sort of way.
07/24/06
'Today is the first day of the rest of our lives,' says Randal, but 'Clerks II' suggests withdrawal rather than momentum.
07/24/06
Just like the new Star Wars trilogy before it, my youth has been raped once more by another large man sporting a beard. Thankfully this one doesn't wear flannel.
07/23/06
some very funny stuff, but also a lot of crass, juvenile humor, profanity, bad acting and a desire to shock rather than to entertain.
