Smith credits Richard Linklater's Slacker as inspiration. But Clerks supplies its own subversively witty take on Generation Next.

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.

"Clerks" is unapologetically rough and even ragged at times. But its lack of circumspection turns out to be its charm.

At his best, [Kevin] Smith captures the zeitgeist of an era and becomes the voice of a generation.

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.

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.

Oct 29, 2014Kevin Smith deserved all the recognition that he got after presenting us with this hilarious slice-of-life cult movie, which was made with a very limited budget and yet is more authentic, refreshing and amusing than many comedies out there.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Jan 06, 2013I wasn't a big fan of Jay & Silent Bob also directed by Kevin Smith but this was half good. I did like how it was spanned over one day, because it truly did make it miserable for the protagonist. I think filming in B&W was questionable though. This was far from a serious film and I believe in color, it could've treated itself like it really was, a stupid comedy. A decent stupid comedy, but it's not a smart film. The best scene is where Randall talks with Veronique and the bathroom sex scene. Those were truly hysterical.Daniel D Super Reviewer
