Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Before Kevin Smith became a Hollywood darling with Chasing Amy, a film he wrote and directed, he made this $27,000 comedy about real-life experiences working for chump change at a New Jersey convenience store. A rude, foul-mouthed collection of anecdotes about the responsibilities that go with being on the wrong side of the till, the film is also a relationship story that takes some hilarious turns once the lovers start revealing their sexual histories to one another. In the best tradition of first-time, ultra-low budget independent films, Smith uses Clerks as an audition piece, demonstrating that he not only can handle two-character comedy but also has an eye for action--as proven in a smoothly handled rooftop hockey scene. Smith himself appears as a silent figure who hangs out on the fringes of the store's property. --Tom Keogh

Lo and behold, Clerks II defies the odds as a sequel that even the most ardent Clerks fans can be happy about. Twelve years after Kevin Smith turned the independent film world upside-down with his $27,000 black-and-white comedy, perpetual slackers Dante (Brian O'Halloran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson) return for another raucous romp in suburbia, but this time there's no beloved Quick Stop mini-mart to ensure their low-level employment. Now they're aimless 33-year-olds flippin' burgers at Mooby's, a fast-food joint with a cow theme that's "udderly delicious." Dante's engaged to his long-time girlfriend but has unexpectedly fallen in love with Mooby's manager Becky (and since she's played by Rosario Dawson, can you blame him?), and Randal's still holding out for life, liberty, and the pursuit of low ambition. The responsibilities of adulthood are rearing their ugly head, and with Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith) still dealing weed and generally being obnoxious, well... something's gotta give, right? The way Smith has written this long-awaited follow-up, the dilemmas of Dante, Randal, and their ongoing friendship are something that anyone can relate to, and with Dawson lighting up the screen (in a role demanded by producer Harvey Weinstein to boost box-office appeal), the movie's romantic chemistry is surprisingly delightful. Rest assured, also, that Smith (shooting mostly in color this time, on a $5 million budget) hasn't forgotten where he came from: Clerks II is jam-packed with the same lewd, crude humor that made Clerks an indie-film phenomenon, and Smith's good-natured sincerity is still on full display, ensuring that only the most prudish viewers could possibly be offended. For everyone else, this is as enjoyable as any sequel could ever hope to be, with amusing cameos by Smith-movie veterans Ben Affleck and Jason Lee, among others. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews:
Bit of a let down.......2007-06-10
The first Clerks movie was an indie classic. In the second one they basically butchered the characters and plot lines. There are a few good laughs and is pretty entertaning, but in comparison to the first movie, this one is not a good.
Clerks 2 is a study in unnecessary sequels.......2007-05-29
The film opens with Dante and Randall pulling up to the Quick Stop and finding it burning down because Randall left the coffee pot on. Their lives as they know them are over... or are they? A year later they are now working at Mooby's a fast food chain, with their boss, the incredibly out-of-place Rosario Dawson. Dawson does her best to pull it off, but she's just too beautiful to belong in this movie, especially as a love interest for Dante Hicks. Fanboys and Mooby's employees can dream, but it's just too much of a stretch.
What's interesting is that it seems like the $5 million budget for Clerks 2 vs. the $28,000 budget for the original actually ends up negatively affecting the film. With more set pieces and more action, Smith doesn't seem to know what to do with his set. And bringing back Dante and Randall (Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson) for another feature is just too much. He's already squeezed these characters dry of most interesting conversation after the first film, and their deadpan lack of delivery might have worked in a low budget black and white film, but here it's almost painful to listen to. There are still a few funny monologues and moments, but for the most part, Dante and Randall's complaining and bickering just comes off a bit screeching, especially considering that they're now in their thirties.
It seems like Kevin Smith hit a wall with Dogma. After a string of successful, low budget films, maybe Smith ran out of solid ideas, or maybe he just needs to refuel his creative juices. Going back to the well with his original characters the first time for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back didn't prove very fruitful, so he set out to make some kind of romantic comedy-ish film with Jersey Girl, which flopped terribly, and now we're digging deeper into the well with Clerks 2, Smith's first sequel.
There are two discs, which makes for too much viewing really. There's a documentary about the making of Clerks 2 that's just as long as the movie itself, as well as a thirty minute blooper reel, with a few minutes of Jason Lee flubbing his lines, and showing that he just showed up to film for a few hours as a favor and is ready to get out of there.
Overall, Clerks 2 is an unneeded addition to the View Askew world and the rest of us could have done without it too. It needlessly adds to a story that concluded, and in fact detracts from the original. if you haven't already seen it, I'd recommend staying away, or asking someone that's seen it to tell you which few scenes are watchable and check those out.
even better than the original.......2007-05-22
this is, in my opinion, the funniest kevin smith movie yet, a must have for fans of his movies
Kevin Smith Strikes again.......2007-05-19
Clerks II rocked!! Plenty of KS jokes to quote later on. The characters ae awesome and he does a great job allowing Dante and Randall grow up a little. A no brainer for any who love Kevins movies.
Doesn't hold up to the original 'Clerks'.......2007-04-26
Dante arrives to work at the Quick Stop to find it burning. After 10 years in a dead-end job, Dante and Randal are forced to find new employment. Clerks II is about their new jobs at Mooby's, a fast food restaurant. Jay and Silent Bob follow them, and are now hanging out at Mooby's too.
Dante is getting ready to leave for Florida with his new fiancé, a shallow girl with a personal problem Randal is quick to point out. Her father is going to pay for their new house and give Dante a carwash to run, so things are looking pretty cozy for Dante. Randal decides to celebrate Dante's departure with a "cross-species erotica show".
Will Dante actually leave New Jersey for Florida? Will he leave best friend Randal behind? Or is there actually something left in New Jersey to hold him there?
The charm in this movie is in the dialogue alone, plus the fact that they managed to get hottie Rosario Dawson to play Becky, Mooby's manager and Dante's good friend. The first 'Clerks' had the charm of black-and-white photography, and although made on a lower budget managed to keep a tighter rein on the storyline while appearing as if the entire movie was shot through a surveillance camera. 'Clerks II' is filmed in color, and lacks the charm of the first movie.
Interesting notes of the movie is the dialogue during the argument over Lord Of The Rings vs. Star Wars, plus the crazy scene with Randal's "going away gift". There are foul words and $exual references and a lot of cynical pottie mouths, but that's what 'Clerks' is all about. Unfortunately, other than Jay and Silent Bob, the cast didn't hold up well to the passing of time and lost a great deal of their charm. However, this movie is still funny, earning three and a half stars, but can't hold a candle to the first 'Clerks'. Enjoy!

Description
If you're in the market for wildly funny entertainment, CLERKS delivers with wholesale hilarity! It's one wacky day in the life of a pair of overworked counter jockeys whose razor-sharp wit and on-the-job antics give a whole new meaning to customer service! Even while bracing a nonstop parade of unpredictable shoppers, the clerks manage to play hockey on the roof, visit a funeral home, and straighten out their offbeat love lives! The boss is nowhere in sight, so you can bet anything can -- and will -- happen when these guys are left to run the store.
Customer Reviews:
Such a great value........2007-06-15
If you love, like, or kinda dig kevin smith films, or just his style of film making, this edition of clerks is a great buy. They cover almost every aspect of the films making, even listing expenses at one point. talking about cast disagreements, and all with the kevin smith tongue in cheek style. I am glad I bought it.
Cult classic but probably best if you're on medication of some sort.......2007-05-11
Yes, this is deemed a cult classic however, it is full of poorly delivered dialogue and cheesy one-liners. I would imagine it would be far more entertaining under the influence. Silent Bob is the best actor in the whole thing ... imagine that.
Funny, But Not Worth The Hype.......2007-04-07
Clerks has some funny moments, but overall, i felt like it was a bit too long for such a pointless plot (or lack of it). I don't see why this movie is so hyped, i was expecting to get more laughs from it. I dunno, i just didn't find it as hilarious as people make it out to be. It's just an okay, mediocre, decent comedy.
Highly overrated.......2007-04-02
I seem to be one of the few people who didn't like this movie. People either seem to love or hate this movie. It's obvious in the reviews. Those that love it would be more likely to comment, so I suggest that if you are considering seeing this movie, look for the negitive comments to get a balance.
No one talks like they did in the film. I've met a broad spectrum of people from every conceivable profession and, none of them spoke the way the people in this piece-of-crap film do. This movie is so overrated its not even slightly funny.
A cult classic by Kevin Smith.......2007-02-09
If somebody will tell you, that you can not make a good movie without a budget for sets, extras and special effects, show him this movie and proof him wrong.
90%+ of the whole movie happens within or in front of a small service store (just like the gas station stores, without the gas station). The rest happens on the roof of the store, the neighbouring video rental store and If I counted correctly one off site location for a single less than a minute scene.
The humor is hilarious and down to earth. The real aspect of the conversations makes the movie so great. The long awaited sequel Clerks 2 did fall a bit short regarding that.
The Jokes (verbal and practical) are for adults and not kids. Foul language is being used, but last time I checked on the street, it's being used there too :).
Average customer rating:
- Long and talky, but with some hilarious moments
- As good if not better than the original
- Excellent sequel, excellent HD-DVD.
- Different movie, same great characters

Long and talky, but with some hilarious moments.......2007-05-13
I liked II better than the original. Definitely worth seeing. Very talkative at times and the humor is hit and miss. Enough funny moments to make it worth watching, and it features a rather nice, heartwarming ending.
The HD DVD looks terrific, and the 2 disc set (!) features terrific extras.
As good if not better than the original.......2007-03-29
If you're a Kevin Smith / Jay and Silent Bob fan, this is a must for your collection. Humor in the movie is non stop. The quality of the audio and video is excellent.
Excellent sequel, excellent HD-DVD........2007-02-16
While Kevin Smith's follow-up to Clerks doesn't quite capture the zeitgeist like his earlier effort did, it is still an excellent comedy. Smith has grown up along with his characters (and his fans) and it shows. This deals with more mature areas of friendship and love in more mature ways. That said, there is still plenty of Smith's trademark verbal exchanges dealing with everything from Lord of the Rings to interspecies erotica.
All of the extras on the HD-DVD are also in 1080p HD which is a nice bonus. As is par for the course with Smith and his ViewAskew cronies we get excellent audio commentaries. Here, we even get three of them, all very entertaining.
Different movie, same great characters.......2007-02-13
All fans of the first film should see Clerks 2. Not only is it really funny, but it's about people just a little older than me who haven't really done anything with their lives, and what they finally choose to do. There is also a donkey show, and everybody loves those! Some thought this might not match up to the first movie, but it truly is the logical extension of the characters' lives. Despite the comedy, Clerks 2 makes me a little sad because it reminds me of my own problems. The picture quality is very nice, even with the strange color filters, and the special features - entirely in HD - are incredible. Keep on clerkin'.
Good Picture Quality But Not Funny.......2007-02-01
I have to say the quality of the movie as far as picture and sound is just about perfect. I however didnt laugh at all during the whole movie. It is predictable and full of stupid characters. I guess its for fans only.

Before Kevin Smith became a Hollywood darling with Chasing Amy, a film he wrote and directed, he made this $27,000 comedy about real-life experiences working for chump change at a New Jersey convenience store. A rude, foul-mouthed collection of anecdotes about the responsibilities that go with being on the wrong side of the till, the film is also a relationship story that takes some hilarious turns once the lovers start revealing their sexual histories to one another. In the best tradition of first-time, ultra-low budget independent films, Smith uses Clerks as an audition piece, demonstrating that he not only can handle two-character comedy but also has an eye for action--as proven in a smoothly handled rooftop hockey scene. Smith himself appears as a silent figure who hangs out on the fringes of the store's property. --Tom Keogh

Such a great value........2007-06-15
If you love, like, or kinda dig kevin smith films, or just his style of film making, this edition of clerks is a great buy. They cover almost every aspect of the films making, even listing expenses at one point. talking about cast disagreements, and all with the kevin smith tongue in cheek style. I am glad I bought it.
Cult classic but probably best if you're on medication of some sort.......2007-05-11
Yes, this is deemed a cult classic however, it is full of poorly delivered dialogue and cheesy one-liners. I would imagine it would be far more entertaining under the influence. Silent Bob is the best actor in the whole thing ... imagine that.
Funny, But Not Worth The Hype.......2007-04-07
Clerks has some funny moments, but overall, i felt like it was a bit too long for such a pointless plot (or lack of it). I don't see why this movie is so hyped, i was expecting to get more laughs from it. I dunno, i just didn't find it as hilarious as people make it out to be. It's just an okay, mediocre, decent comedy.
Highly overrated.......2007-04-02
I seem to be one of the few people who didn't like this movie. People either seem to love or hate this movie. It's obvious in the reviews. Those that love it would be more likely to comment, so I suggest that if you are considering seeing this movie, look for the negitive comments to get a balance.
No one talks like they did in the film. I've met a broad spectrum of people from every conceivable profession and, none of them spoke the way the people in this piece-of-crap film do. This movie is so overrated its not even slightly funny.
A cult classic by Kevin Smith.......2007-02-09
If somebody will tell you, that you can not make a good movie without a budget for sets, extras and special effects, show him this movie and proof him wrong.
90%+ of the whole movie happens within or in front of a small service store (just like the gas station stores, without the gas station). The rest happens on the roof of the store, the neighbouring video rental store and If I counted correctly one off site location for a single less than a minute scene.
The humor is hilarious and down to earth. The real aspect of the conversations makes the movie so great. The long awaited sequel Clerks 2 did fall a bit short regarding that.
The Jokes (verbal and practical) are for adults and not kids. Foul language is being used, but last time I checked on the street, it's being used there too :).

Writer-director Kevin Smith revives the characters of his indie classic film Clerks for this animated series created for network television. Though it aired for just two episodes on TV, the two-disc set has all six episodes plus a bevy of special features.
The episodes feature store clerks Dante and Randal and their ongoing adventures among the shelves of your local corner store. Never far from the epicenter of these adventures are the irreverent Jay and Silent Bob. Whether it's getting trapped in the walk-in cooler, attending their high school reunion, or fighting rival Leonardo Leonardo (who wants to dominate the local Quick Mart market), Clerks spoofs TV and movies with mocking pop-culture jokes and cameos by a number of celebrities. Ultimately, though, Clerks: The Animated Series suffers at the hands of network censors, lacking the obnoxious punch that made Clerks the film so offbeat and amusing.
Smith doesn't disappoint, however, with the inclusion of a number of special features on the DVD set, most notably the ever-insightful director's commentary with guests Jason Mewes (Jay), Brian O'Halloran (Dante), and Jeff Anderson (Randal). So while the series itself may be ill-fated, featurette on the making of the animated series--including storyboards and information on character development and the comic book influence on the drawing style--make this a robust offering for Kevin Smith completists. --Adam Medros
Customer Reviews:
A more animated version of Clerks.......2007-05-14
TV history is filled with the obituaries of series that were really good but died prematurely. To me, one of the most apt examples is Police Squad that ran only six brilliant episodes before disappearing (although it was fortunately resurrected as a set of movies). Another example would be Clerks, the fantastically funny animated follow-up to the movie. It was canceled after a mere two episodes, but the collection Clerks - Uncensored includes all six episodes that were made.
The four principal characters are the same ones as in the movie (and are voiced by the same actors). The main character is Dante, the convenience store clerk who is intelligent and a nice guy, but also the eternal victim, condemned to life working at the Quik Stop, even on his days off. He constantly bemoans his fate but has no ambition to change it. His best friend and biggest oppressor is Randal, who works at the adjacent video store. Randal is also a lifetime clerk, but he is not bothered by his career; he is perfectly comfortable doing nothing and treating other people like garbage. Then there are Jay and Silent Bob; in the movies, they are drug dealers, but for network TV they were toned down to fun loving slackers.
Taking full advantage of the animated medium, the episodes get both weird and funny in ways the movie (or live TV shows) could not be. The first episode pits the Clerks against Leonard Leonard, an evil Montgomery Burns-like billionaire intent on taking over the world with an ultra-convoluted scheme. By Episode 2, we already have a flashback episode when Dante and Randal are locked in the Quik Stop freezer and reminisce about old times. Episode 3 puts the Quik Stop under quarantine after Leonard Leonard takes ill after a monkey bite; is it a dreaded virus or some bad burritos?
Episode 4 has Dante on trial after Jay slips and falls in the store. Randal defends him, an effort sure to doom Dante, although things resolve in a typically bizarre fashion. Episode 5 is a cross of Bad News Bears and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (with a dash of the Last Starfighter). The final episode has Dante and Randal stuck in the store while more and more strange things happen outside. This episode concludes with an homage to a classic Warner Brothers cartoon; if you don't recognize it, it will be mentioned in the commentary.
The commentary is indeed an important part of the set as the principals provide plenty of humorous insights into the history of the show: how it was made and why it died so quickly. It is a classic case of the network "suits" acting on quick and erroneous judgments. There are other extras as well, but even without these special features, the shows themselves merit five stars (although, like Kevin Smith movies, they will not appeal to everyone). It's a shame that shows like Mama's Family, Full House and Family Matters could last for years on TV while a more deserving show was never really even given a chance. Happily, at least on DVD, Clerks lives on.
A must see DVD!.......2006-07-23
I was not a huge fan of Clerks the movie but I was very surprised about this. Not a great TV shows but hilarious characters and great jokes. All 6 episodes are really good but the court one is definitely my favorite.
There is a funny introduction by Jay and Silent Bob each episode and the then there is a commentary for all 6! Very entertaining!!!!
Just As Awesome As The Movie.......2006-07-20
If you like the movie Clerks, then you will love this TV series. Everyone that appears in the movie reprises their roles in "Clerks" the Animated Series". Even though it is only six episodes, they are still as brilliant as Kevin Smith's movies. There a lot of jokes in every single episode. Another cool thing about it is that each episode is introduced by the real Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith) which only adds to the enjoyment of this DVD. The extras are very much worth getting as well, from commercials to the evolution of the animation, they are all great. This is a DVD that you can't miss if you are a fan. There are tons of laughs in this short but sweet series. A movie based on the animated series is about to be released in the not to distant future, so be sure to check this out. Awesome!
Clerks Uncensored........2006-06-16
This movie doesen't sound that bad for an R rating.Rated R for some sexual humor.
Clerks animation - Extremely underated.......2006-03-03
Clerks animated was axed in the US after 2 episodes and shown here in Australia at 5.10am, this show i feel is extremely funny and worth every penny, also as with all kevin smith's dvd's the features are equal in value. this show was simply miss understood, if you liked the smith films and dont mind animated series, then this should be right up your alley!

Description
If you're in the market for wildly funny entertainment, CLERKS delivers with wholesale hilarity! It's one wacky day in the life of a pair of overworked counter jockeys whose razor-sharp wit and on-the-job antics give a whole new meaning to customer service! Even while bracing a nonstop parade of unpredictable shoppers, the clerks manage to play hockey on the roof, visit a funeral home, and straighten out their offbeat love lives! The boss is nowhere in sight, so you can bet anything can -- and will -- happen when these guys are left to run the store.

For an extra $10, why not?.......2007-01-21
I bought this set at Best Buy on New Year's Eve for only $30, and I wasn't dissapointed.
It comes in a Happy Meal-esque box, complete with a plastic cup with straw, a Mooby's visor, a Mooby's nametag, and a little worksheet with puzzles and stuff on it. The visor is actually pretty cool, and the cup is a quality thick plastic cup. I wouldn't pay over $50 for this at any time, but if you can get it for a decent price, it's easily worth it.
The film itself is also very good. It ranks near the top, if not my favorite of all Kevin Smith films.
