Audience Reviews for Clerks II

  • Jan 09, 2016
    I think it's better than the original, but not by much. It's a slacker comedy that won't resonate with everyone, and that's a shame.

    Kevin Smith returns to where it all began with Clerks II, but he doesn't have much to say this time. After burning down the Quick Stop Dante and Randall get jobs at Mooby's, but they're still having issues getting their lives together. Unlike the first film, Smith doesn't have any interesting or clever observations about the workplace. There's some funny satire and witty dialog, but overall the writing is rather weak. And, Smith takes the comedy to new levels of vulgarity and crudeness. While there's a certain level of nostalgia in returning to these characters, Clerks II is a trite and uninspired effort by Smith to recapture the magic.

    Clerks II may not be such a cult-like hit as its predecessor but it does heighten up the amount of obscenity, vulgarity and overall raunchiness. The film's obscure humor is over-the-top and story provides insight and somewhat sentiment to make this a more-than-decent sequel. 4/5

    Paling in comparison to the original, Clerks II does have some merits in taking the characters in a different life direction. Not bad although you wish Kevin Smith would have just let it be.
