This review is from: Clerks II (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition) (DVD)
Despite it's often distant approach from certain aspects that made its foundation film "Clerks" such an interesting underground sensation, Clerks II has its good points. In Clerks II, we shift locales a bit as Randall Graves accidentally leaves a coffee pot on and subsequently burns down the infamous Qwik Mart that the original film took place at. The two are soon thereafter working at Mooby's, which to this viewer appears as nothing more than a poor man's Burger King in New Jersey. I won't profess to be a Clerks aficionado and it has been years since I saw the first film "Clerks" but I will do my best to give "Clerks II" a comprehensive review. Clerks II centers on the characters of Randall Graves and Dante Smith as they go through their toiling days as burger flipping, floor mopping fast food soldiers. Not far from the foreground of this are Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith) who were notorious in the first movie (released in 1994) for being no more than two dudes who hung out outside the Qwik Mart all day while playing music, talking about nothing, and selling weed. Now they are at Mooby's doing the same thing, except for the fact that during the timeline between the two films they were arrested and instead of doing time are now born again Christians which apparently was part of their rehabilitation that came from the plea bargain. Clerks holds onto the basis of the original film in that it simply lets the everyday characters tell the story, which often can hit close to home. Bucking Social programming and being anything but politically correct, we're soon thrown into the various personalities that come from the people that work there. Dante is soon leaving for Florida with his gorgeous blond fiancé', although the real love of his life is the woman who is his manager at the store. Graves is the most obnoxious, loudmouthed idiot you will ever meet, and most of the time he appears as very insecure while masking it with making fun of anything and anyone. The F-word seems to be a mainstay with Graves and Jay (hanging outside of course) and though I'm anything but prude, got to tire of it after a bit. Perhaps it was a good thing, as it adds to the adolescent mindset that Graves brings to the screen. A deeper storyline evolves as we find that Graves is feeling lost with the impending move Dante is about to make. Deciding to throw an, err, erotic based party for him at Mooby's for a going away present, some misunderstandings quickly spiral out of control with all the laughs and "oh nooooo!" the viewer can handle. Poking fun at everything from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings to Societies own judgment of people by their job titles and stereotypes, Clerks II stands up in a world full of sugar coating, political correctness and manners and tips the tables upside down with vulgarity, slapstick humor and a bizarre set of character driven sub plots that tie together nicely in the end. While I was somewhat disappointed through the first half hour of the film due to the fact it seemed to lose some of its indie-film underground grittiness, it made up for it in other areas. Clerks II isn't for everyone, and Kevin Smith aficionados may think differently about the overall approach of this film. Clerks II also has cameo appearances by Jason Lee and Ben Affleck.
