I left the theater with tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Easily the funniesty movie of 06 thus far. If you loved the OG, you're in for a treat. Dipset.
-
i love clerks, mall rats, jay and silent bob, ect al those movies BUT i wasn't expecting too much out of this movie......
....i'm going to tell all of you RIGHT NOW, that the commercials don't do this film justice.
good fuckin movie...even if you don't look at it as a comedy. it's one of those movies (if you have a brain) that makes you examine your life and the people around you.
and on the comedy side of things....FUCKING HILARIOUS, jay and silent bob have fuckin moments here that will leave you with a side cramp. and there's tons of other shit like siko said that will make you leave the theater red in the face.
poor donkey,lol, that's all i got to say

Oh hell yes im going to c this!.....

Thank God. A lot of the reviewers were trashing it calling it stupid and pointless, I had hoped that it was because they either didn't receieve their cheques from Smith or were trateing like a serious film. One critic blasted the film for it's unrealistic message and character build towards Dante. Shit, you don't go to Clerks for epic storytelling or high art. You go to laugh, and if you get offended by certain words that shouldn't offend you then you shouldn't review it. I hate it when newspapers do that. You don't send a hip hop critic to a heavy metal show and you don't send your top wine guy to see Clerks. I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm Kevin Smith fan, so I'll be seein' this soon...I KNOW it will be good.
-
need that shit to come to the UK i love the jay and silent bob series
-
dude it was so fucking funny, but you know what, they shouldnt of of called it clerks 2. since all kevin smith movies revolve around the same little universe of characters, they couldve just put this out as a new title

Yea, but this one is more of a sequel, it continues the story of Randal and Dante, which was only in "Clerks"...PeACe

Exactly how I feel. That's why I don't take a critics word as gospel.
-
at the heart of the movie it kind of was a serious film....it just happened to have a bajillion funny fuckin things going on in it
btw
jay's "nude" scene =funny moment of the year
-
That whole pillow pants scene with the music in the background had me dyin too.
-
lol you know what's funny about that shit, i knew people like that in highschool
-
Can't wait to see it man. The first Clerks was so fucking awesome, great dialogue.
-
I liked it, but it didn't do the original Clerks justice in my view. Still, I laughed a lot.
-
fuckin hilarious, great movie. definately lived up to the hype. What a great comeback after Jersey Girl.
-
porch monkeys
-
I liked it, a very solid entry in the series...Pretty much what I expected.
-
I really liked Clerks II, i saw it last night at BUrbank AMC. THey were also givin away free screenings of Pulse. Gonna go see that shit tomorrow,its a horror movie. I've only seen one other movie by this director, Mallrats, which i thought was fucking stupid and not funny (although it was trying to be extremely funny), corny, tacky fucking sense of humor. Clerks II, on the other hand, was a much more grown-up type of movie, with better acting and funnier dialogue

listen to the kobe of wcc on this one. Clerks II was dope and all, but no where near as good as mallrats. If think mallrats sucks, your opinion is just plain wrong and thats all there is to it.
-
agreed, mallrats > any of kevin smith's movies

I gotta see this!
-

-
agreed, mallrats > any of kevin smith's movies

-

"Clerks"
-
I really gotta go c this movie, just need it 2 b released here in UK!
-
funny fuckin movie, but not as good as clerks obviously.
and
Dogma> clerks
and mallrats is def better than the new clerks.
-
clerks=mallrats>jay and silent bob strike back>dogma=clerks II>chasing amy>Jersey Girl
thats how my preference goes
-
my favorite is jay and silent bob strike back
-
Just saw this movie. Pretty funny but some boring ass parts just dragged on too long.
-
It's all about the dialogue. Some parts may have dragged but thats probably the idea.
-
Fucking hilarious
-
Gotta Disagree.
I had a theory and it was proven, people who have seen part 1 wont like 2 and people who havent seen 1 will think its hilarious. A decent movie with funny moments, but along the lines of part one it diddnt compare at all. It was like 2 movies first half was a throwback to part 1, the second was a different story. Jay and Silent Bob lacked something I dunno what. Alot of the dialogue was good an edgy but it didnt stand up to part one for example the deathstar contractors death. I gave this movie 7/10. If it were a new movie and not a sequel it would fly

Wrong...I saw the first one and I thought this one was really good. I don't know what you mean by "people who haven't seen 1 will think it's hilarious", it's actually quite the opposite, fans of the franchise will appreciate/understand this a lot more...Also, a 7/10 is good...PeACe

Where can you prove this? Just in this thread alone there are Kevin Smith fans that found Clerks 2 hilarious
-
you got to see where kevin smith was coming with this one. the characters are like 12 years older and they need to grow, you can't just sit there recreating the same movie, that's what made the godfather pt. II such a good movie . it didn't stay in the same pool, it grew upon the story.
-
That's what was so great about this movie. I saw the first Clerks and still found this one enjoyable (one of the better films of 2006 for that matter). I saw it with some friends who didn't see Clerks, and they found this enjoyable too, eventhough they didn't know the past histroy of some of the characters.
-
Welll... I posted to bluntly, I was pretty tired, I didnt mean part 2 was a bad movie at all, It was a good film in its own right, but in comparison to part one it didnt feel the same way part one did. The big difference is part one was just a movie about people talking. Kevin smith has said this in interviews regarding part 2. Clerks 2 changed a lot of the dynamic by making the movie very story driven rather than dialogue driven and pointless like part 1. Part 1 did follow a story but not to the point that part 2 did, where we see all this insight into the characters and what will happen to them in the end. Not that its a bad thing but it changes the dynamic of the Clerks franchise. Pat. 1 introduced these characters with very little past and very little future and was into itself, with a few pop-ins from Dante and Randall's past there werent many things in the film explained them past their opinions shared on film. Clerks 2 took more of a narrative feel and imo suffered because of that. While it was funny in its own regard I just didnt feel it lived up to Clerks1 but it was s stil a good film hence the 7/10 The theory was discussed between my friends and I and 2 of my friends who didnt see part 1 loved part 2, and 2 of us who saw part 1 felt a bit slighted.
at the rooftop dance scene who agrees Jay and Silent Bob should have played "Jungle Love"?

^I understand what you're saying to an extent, but dude, you expected them to make the same exact movie? They kept the same formula and expanded on it, in my opinion, they couldn't really have done much to make the movie any better...It's a movie for the fans, and they definitely delivered...PeACe
-
^exactly .
when kevin smith released clerks he had just dante and randall and jay and silent bob. then he kept building on these characters with each movie he made, so he had to make clerks II more story driven, if he just kept them in the store talking for an hour and a half it would destroy everything he's built up with these characters over the years. he HAD to build upon his characters. you got to remember he's not just expanding the clerks franchise he's building upon the whole 'new jersey' franchise he's built with each movie he's realeased
