    Ultimately, Smith finally achieves that perfect balance between humor and heart that he's been dancing towards with all his films.

    Clerks II finds Smith up to the profane, raunchy, profoundly humanist mischief of which he alone is the master. This is a lewd, lascivious, exhilaratingly life-affirming celebration of misfits and the misfits who love them.

    Kevin Smith's most enjoyable film since, well, Clerks lacks much of its predecessor's outsider edge, but you'll probably be laughing too hard to care.
  4. The attitude is older, maybe a tad sentimental, and as adolescent and reckless as ever. Whether that's a good thing depends on your appreciation for dead-end conversations, geek debates and the Smithspeak sandbox of creative vulgarity.

    I love this movie!! The first Clerks is great and this one is better than the original. Love all the jokes and love the new concept of working the recurring Mooby's. What handicap, the guy is in a wheelchair Expand

    Not as good as the original but a very worthy sequal. Although the end gets sappy the way the series is wrapped up works well.
  3. a good movie that is funny but not as good as the first . the donkey show thing definitly should have been left out . randal though seems to be spot on and what id imagine him to be 10+ years later. Expand

    This movie would have been mildly funny if it weren't for the absolutely awful acting on the part of Dante and Randal. Perhaps the only reason I didn't notice how bad they both are in the first Clerks is because it was black and white and therefore more difficult to discern their expressions. Expand
