Director Kevin Smith's prize-winning debut feature is a micro-budget black-and-white marvel that showcases his dry wit and wonderful sense of the absurd. It focuses on a day in the life of a New Jersey convenience store, where the double act of Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson amuses, charms and offends with endless, rambling discussions about sex, videos, food prices, sex, Star Wars and sex. Their counterculture diatribes are by turn screamingly funny and wincingly accurate, although those of a sensitive nature should be warned. Smith's direction is as delightful as it is often unreliable with the overall surreal atmosphere resembling a Generation X treatment of Are You Being Served?.

Classic Cult Comedy
The first of the Kevin Smith movies (followed by Mallrats, Chasing Amy etc) it was understandably low budget (hence the black and white) but that should not take away from what is a brillant script and the introduction of Jay and Silent Bob into the world.
Basic plot: The things that happen to a convenience store clerk on the day that he's not even meant to be there.
Not one for the kiddies (rather adult humour in it) but quick whitty script will make it thoughly enjoyable for anyone who has ever worked in customer service. -

Not a Dante Randall fan!
I am a big fan of Kevin Smith and the films he has produced, but I was a little bit disappointed with Clerks. The filming was very impressive and the use of black and white worked very well, but I think my issue was with the fact that the film is all about Dante and Randall and from every Smith film that they have appeared in I have never enjoyed their characters so a film centred upon them reinforced my dislike lol. But a definite cult classic!

Smith gives in to movie censors over A Couple of Dicks
- 29 Dec 2009
Director Kevin Smith has been forced to change the name of his new Bruce Willis cop comedy because studio bosses felt A Couple Of Dicks would lead to marketing issues. The Clerks filmmaker wanted to use the controversial title for the forthcoming film, but changed his mind after learning commercials promoting the project would be banned from three of the top U.S. TV networks. Smith, who encountered similar censorship issues with his 2008 Seth Rogen film Zack and Miri Make a Porno, admits it... Read more

Clerks - BLU-RAY Version
Chronicling a day in the life of Quick Stop clerk Dante Hicks, CLERKS captures the hilarity of the humdrum even as it raises slackerdom to existential proportions. From behind his counter, Dante desperately tries to exert some power over the crazy customers, his own love life, and his incorrigible ...
