Editorial Review:
Description: 10 years later, Dante and Randal are working at a fast-food restaurant and Dante considers leaving the clerk life behind for greener pastures.
Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - Finally, a good sequel and a good Kevin Smith movie
While I never thought Kevin Smith movies were horrible, I always thought the dialog was too scripted (like Star Wars) and pretentious. Clerks was interesting, but overrated in my opinion.
Then I took a chance on this movie and thought it was great. There are the usual elements of a Kevin Smith movie, including taboo subjects that get to the line and then obliterate it. But there is also sentimentality. Smith does an excellent job of not only making the characters more interesting, mature, ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing
Well what can I say KS took a great movie an made it better I am in waiting for a part 3 the lives of Dante and Randle are filled with laughs this is one of the best moveis I have seen in any years I have watched it over 20 times I love it
Rating: - IF YOU WANT A GOOD TIME - AGAIN, GOOD TIME, THIS IS IT!
I saw the trailer to this movie and a brief television review prior to renting it and its predecessor, "Clerks I". I found the term "interspecial erotica" disgusting, yet intriguing. Yeah, the rating is "R" due to alleged "aberrant sexuality" but the movie is so funny that somehow the possibility of crude sexuality didn't scare me away. The movie is hilarious. Now the rest of those clowns in the movie built up an immunity from the first film but I don't see how Rosario Dawson made it through the movie ... Read More
Rating: - The original is always the best. but this comes very close.
Clerks has always been one of my all time favorite films, now Clerks II is sitting right up there with it.
This movie is worth having just to find out who Mr. Pillow pants is ?
I dare anyone who hasn't seen this film to guess.
One ring to rule them all.
I LOVE IT !!
Rating: - It's the Good Book Sirs.
A long time in the making/waiting, Clerks II finally makes it here.
If you enjoy the New Jersey Kevin Smith series, you'll enjoy the conclusion(?) of the Clerks' story.
Taking place in a Mooby's restaurant (brought to fame in "Dogma") it continues the story of the two clerks from the convenience store, and of course Jay and Silent Bob, this time "new and improved."
Nothing is sacred in this installment as the continued stresses of working in the food industry and daily ... Read More
