Disapointing
By add (29 reviews) from EXETER , 13 Apr 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
What Kevin Smith achieved with the original Clerks on a shoe string budget has to be commended; it was edgy, believable and most importantly funny. Ever since however the quality of his films has been on a steady decline, culminating in the God awful Jersey Girl and unfortunately Clerks 2 doesnt alter the trend. 10 years on the lead characters are older, fatter, and none the wiser, and with age theyve morphed from charismatic slackers into unbelievably pathetic losers still cracking fart jokes. I simply didnt sympathise them and its telling that the characters not involved in the first film come out of this the best. Dante (played by Brian O Halloran .who cant act to save his life) is most at fault, a decade on this character still hasnt discovered a personality and is just used to prop Randals delinquent wise cracks (yet the plot centers around him and the two beautiful women pursuing him!). The painfully over sentimental ending tries to alter the tone and give the film some sort of purpose but it just doesnt fit and anyhow by then I was a long way from caring. To get the most from this film Id recommend low expectations and paying zero attention to the barley there plot and enjoy the few sketches that are funny (Porch monkey, donkey show and the Lord of the Rings impression were priceless), that or just watch the first one.- Was this review helpful to you?

(135)Great film
By Lazeespite (1 review) , 16 Jul 2012This film is one of my favourites, great characters and great rapport between them. Slightly more polished than the original Clerks, but that's to be expected! Can't beat Jay's death metal dancing, I'll be working it into my own routine.- Was this review helpful to you?

If your not a Kevin Smith Fan - Avoid
By Inbetweener92 (1 review) , 20 Jun 2011I'm a fan of Smith's View Askew films and this was no exception. However it is lacklustre in some areas.
Some acting is cringeworthly and some jokes seem outrageous just to be outrageous. In all honesty it just seems like a film for Smith to end this 'saga' on and the ending is sufficient enough but the first is on a different level compared to this.
However Jay and Silent Bob are more present in this version allow the come with the fact they are 'new and improved' and now clean from drugs but still dealers, quite unrealistic.
So if you liked the rest of the View Askew films watch this just to round of the set. If not, avoid.- Was this review helpful to you?

Is there some paint drying near here?
By a customer from Darlington , 14 Jul 2010Utter crap. If your taste is anything approaching mainstream, don't waste the 2 hours of your life watching this film. There is no discernable storyline, the characters are weak and the acting is shoddy. Rent another film.- Was this review helpful to you?

HOT and Hilarious!
By SARAHLOU79 (3 reviews) from Hull , 25 Jun 2010This is my favorite of all the Kevin Smith movies because it is the funniest and the story is pretty sweet too. Also it features Jay stripping to 'goodbye horses' so it gets my vote!- Was this review helpful to you?

Watch it
By a customer from Swansea , 15 Apr 2010I wasn't expecting this......I simply selected this randomly when searching through films. I've enjoyed other films featuring Jay and Silent Bob so thought I would give it a go. It is incredible. So unexpectedly funny, great characters, great plot, and very random at times.- Was this review helpful to you?
