Clerks rules. Kevin Smith is a genius. I try to think of what the most expensive part of this movie was. My guess is that the hockey game is, due to licensing fees. Who knows? Either way, this movie shows what can be done with a great script and just under 30k dollars. To me, some of the greatest things in the movie are the little errors were people might trip on a word for a second. That's so real, that it give the movie a sense of reality that is missing in so many other movies. People have complained that Randall sounds like he's reading from cue cards. So what! Haven't you ever met anyone like that? I have. Jay and Silent Bob are the kings of loitering. What class they possess. Dante and Randall are a shining example of what can happen to you after working too long in a convience and rental store, respectively. There is nothing far fetched about the story of a guy having a bad day at work. I had many days almost that bad when I did retail. The dialogue is brilliant. Nice little insights about life and your place in it. After hearing a little of the story you forget that the movie is in black and white, and you don't care because it's so good. If you are a Kevin Smith/Silent Bob fan and have not seen Clerks yet... Get it! If you've watched Mallrats or Dogma without seeing this you're missing out. Great soundtrack, very cool Soul Asylum video, neat extras. This is one of the best comedy movies out there. Read more

No matter how many times I watch Clerks, it is just as funny and good as it was the first time. The movie is fun and foul-mouthed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It shows that life isn't always an easy street, but it is full of struggle. No one has learned this in one day more than Dante Hicks, a store clerk who isn't even supposed to work today, and who doesn't let his buddy Randal or the audience forget it. The acting in this brilliant film is fantastic, everyone takes to their role and are very believable people. Being 22 years old, the story sadly relates to my life in more ways than one. Jay and Silent Bob were spawned from this flick, they are quite possibly the greatest duo to grace the silver screen, call it fanboyism but I don't care. This movie just speaks to everyone and it's something everyone can relate to, that's why this film will be around forever and will gain new fans every day. Bravo Kevin, this was worth temporarily losing your comic book collection because this film rocks Read more

This one is a keeper and always leaves me laughing. Some day I will meet someone else who knows the entire "Star Wars/Death Star" dialogue. Contractors, yeah. Read more

This movie is Kevin Smith's brilliant film making debut. It follows a day in the life of a convenience store clerk (Brian O'Halloran) and a video store clerk (Jeff Anderson). It also marks the introduction of Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith) to the world. Dante (O'Halloran) is the guy whose life just can't go right. He is stuck in a low-paying no respect job that he hates. He is forced to deal with idiots from the time he comes in until the time the store closes, on his scheduled day off no less. The characters in this movie deal with more stuff in one day than most people will in their life. A hockey game on the roof of the store, a funeral, and Dante's ex-girlfriend has sex in the bathroom with a corpse. It is well-known that the movie was made on a shoestring budget, but it is great anyway. The black and white is an added bonus. I bought the video for $2.99 when a local rental store when it went out of business a few years ago. My brother made fun of me then, but then last year he paid over $30 for the DVD. Ha ha on him!

(Insert all general, well-deserved, and standard superlatives about Kevin Smith and "Clerks" here). As for the DVD itself, a hallmark of ANY DVD with Kevin's name on it is the excellent value for your money -- you get not only the movie, but many concominant "bonus features" that are fantastic enough to warrant purchasing the DVD on their presence alone. Another guaranteed feature of any Kevin Smith DVD is the "commentary" section (although there's one minor criticism I have on this point). Kevin, who invariably has many people connected to the movie (on-screen and off), leads a VERY funny running commentary (this applies not only to "Clerks," but any DVD). Side stories, heads-up pointers, and general analysis are all peppered with funny and insightful thoughts. One feels almost as if you were watching a favorite movie with a bunch of friends who are making an effort to ensure that you're in on the joke. (Minor criticism time: One (unfortunate) side effect of a KS doing DVD commentary is his habit of naming what seems like each and every actor who appears on screen, no matter how minor. It can have the effect (and at times did have the effect on the Clerks DVD) of making it feel like you were watching a home movie. I don't care that the guy who watched Lenin's Tomb take a sandbox break owned the theater where auditions were held, nor that his wife played opposite Jeff Anderson's famous "I don't appreciate your ruse" scene. Still, it's a VERY minor point in the whole big scheme of things, although I note that Kev's still doing it even as recent as the Clerks: Animated Series DVDs (those are even funnier than the "Clerks" DVD, by the way)). Whew. Ok, I'm done now, which leads me to wonder why I'm still typing. I'll just click something now. Read more
