Review of Clerks II (2006) by Xcv V — 26 Jun 2011
Clerks 2 is pretty bland should you compare it to the first movie, what was a brilliant look at the lives of two Clerks from "Generation X" ultimately tries to update that image to the present day generation and a few brilliant jokes, but too many stale ones.
But like the first movie, it grows on you, the friendship between Dante & Randal (Brian O'Hallaran & Jeff Anderson) has evolved over the past 11 years (both real life and story) and it is only getting better for us yet worse for them.
Ultimately towards the ending you see the movie digs into much deeper themes than what appears to be just your average comedy, all which Kevin Smith is more than capable of pulling off well.
Saying all that, Clerks 2 isn't a bad film, It just could've been better giving the talent provided and not focusing it's full intentions on mocking today's pop culture, Still it does make a strong enough impact to hope Clerks 3 will be made.
Final Verdict: You get what you're given, you just end up hoping you'd get as much as you did from the first Clerks, Sadly that may not be the case.
