With its quirky characters and clever, quotable dialogue, Clerks is the ultimate clarion call for slackers everywhere to unite and, uh, do something we guess?

It is one of those small-scale American independent movies that you either fall for or you don't, and one would confidently expect most of those fed up with big, empty, run-of-the-mill Hollywood epics to raise at least two cheers. September 23, 2020 | Full Review…

"Clerks" is unapologetically rough and even ragged at times. But its lack of circumspection turns out to be its charm. September 23, 2020 | Full Review…

If Clerks lacks the grunge artistry of its forebears, it's a fast, likable 90 minutes at the movies. The way our culture is going, this may be what a hip sitcom looks like in 15 years. September 7, 2011 | Rating: B | Full Review…

With no narrative per se and nothing holding it together except unity of time and place, it's surprising that "Clerks" plays as well, and consistently, as it does, with very little down time. July 7, 2010 | Full Review…

The acting is a bit amateurish at times. But when dialogue like Randall's monologues -- piercing and brutally fresh -- are presented to the audience, all is forgiven. September 23, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The two men at the film's core feel three-dimensionally rendered despite our knowing little about them besides a single day's activities. This is a testament to Smith's ability to write skit-like gags in a way that add depth. September 23, 2020 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…

still such a treat to watch over twenty years later, is through its ingenious snapshot of small-town Americana and the inertia of Generation Xers. November 5, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
