The sequel picks up 10 years later. "It's about what happens when that lazy, 20-something malaise lasts into your 30s. Those dudes are kind of still mired, not in that same exact situation, but in a place where it's time to actually grow up and do something more than just sit around and dissect pop culture and talk about sex," Smith said during an interview at his Hollywood office. "It's: What happened to these dudes?" (imdb)

I found it pretty much just as entertaining as the original Clerks. Certainly the plot feels "tacked-on" but let's be honest, the first Clerks was never, ever about the plot. My only complaint were that some points felt like music videos and a bit long but the dance number was hilarious. Also I never thought I'd find inter-species erotica as hilarious as this movie makes it. Great stuff if you're a Kevin Smith fan! If you're not then this won't win you over.

This movie gets a 1 for Kevin Smith's 1-inch dick. Sorry to be unfunny, retarded, and self-consciously crass, but this hot-ass turd of a movie must've rubbed off on me.

I just love Kevin Smith. He's a master of dialogue. There hasn't been a movie by him I haven't liked and Clerks 2 is one of his best. Yeah, the direction isn't anything special but I love the characters as I'm sure a lot of people do. It does lose some steam in the donkey part and that hurts it since the scene is fairly long. But this movie is more emotional than the first. Clerks is only above this one because of the donkey scene. An excellent finale.

Might not be quite as funny as the original (although it's pretty damn hilarious), but it's certainly smarter. I really do love the characters, and Rosario Dawson turned out to be perfect for this movie. Elias seemed odd and out of place at first, but he ended up being just right, too. I was really pleasantly surprised by this, and walked out of the theater smiling. This made me genuinely happy.

It's easy to see that Kevin Smith is confident in his fan-base, and he knows that he has the following to do as he pleases. The pop culture opinions and long-winded monologues fly, and they make Clerks II a terrifically funny film. The simple plot is perfect for the non-stop laughs that keep it afloat. For the most part, the actors are all better than they have even been, Brian O'Halloran being the very sad exception. If you're a Kevin Smith fan, this is a must see. Really good!

It's very hard to re-capture the magic that is created with an original. While this doesn't quite capture it, it does a novel job of re-introducing the characters after 12 years. It's funny, and at times, heartwarming. If this is the final of the "Jersey Movies", it's more than an ample send-off.

"Clerks II" starts out feeling like a relic from a bygone decade that no one really wanted to make. The humour is repetitious and dull, the jokes all too often centred around the same then topical themes and pop culture staples of the time, and everything fell flat for me. But after a delightful dance number, and a third act that serves as a true wake-up call, I realised that seeing Dante and Randal as relics was exactly the point. An almost rousing finale to the View Askewinverse indeed.

A delightful return back to the View Askew universe. Returning are the lovable characters Dante, Randal, Jay and Silent Bob and just a few others, but adding to the mix is Rosario Dawson as the love interest to Dante, whom is getting married and leaving New Jersey and the rest of the gang. Kevin Smith is a genius to return back to this humble town in New Jersey and put some closer on this universe, who knows if he will ever return back to it or not.

Like Mallrats, it's too contrived and "Hollywood". I don't like conventional, happy-go-lucky, everything works out in the end love endings in this fashion, at least not this obvious or plastic. Some funny gags, but a lot of them felt stale, or maybe leftovers from ten years ago. This is pretty close to crap like American Pie.

Clerks 2 has rose up the bar and taken it to the limits. It doubles the laughs, doubles the hilarity, doubles the outrageousness and completely stays aways from the element of maturity, which makes it such a fun movie. Sure it feels rushed, tacked-on, too hyped up and overly pointless on the plot and acting, but it wasn't meant to be serious. Just as good as the original.

I'm gonna miss these guys. It's sad that this is the swan song for the Askewniverse. But I know Smith will go on to equally great things I think this is probably a guy flick, especially the scene towards the end in jail. Dealing with strong emotions for another dude isn't always easy and I found this scene very poiniant to my own life. Miss ya Andy, you cock smoker.

I think it's important to remember here that, for everything that this film accomplished, it was about 30 pages shorter than it SHOULD HAVE been, thanks to the Weinstein's. Beautiful film, deserves every bit of praise it gets. But we have to deal with the smart marks who say "Oh, he never should have done this" and "Oh, the same stuff isn't funny anymore" and even "Oh, this movie was pointless." Pull your heads out of your asses. This movie was NECESSARY. I repeat, NECESSARY. A beautiful end.

This movie is brilliant not to mention insanely funny. Rosario Dawson is amazing. She probably should have gotten an Oscar for her performance, but I don't think the academy will review a film with a "Donkey Show" in it. They're probably afraid they'd go "sex nuts and retard strong." Their loss really.

Easily one of the worst films ever made, for me. Not unwatchable, but in the context of the talent that is available and all the awful lines, awful montages, and awful choices its easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. Yet, I am drawn into its awfulness. I can't look away. I'm just fascinated by that there are people out there that think this is good, and that talented people made this crap. Most definitely a movie that you will measure how much of a douche someone is if they like it

Scat. Complete scat. This what you get when a bunch of stoner college kids need something to fill their mundane lives with. A mere money grabbing attempt to recolor a somewhat entertaining idea. Nothing in this movie made me even care that any of my favorite characters were in it, aside from the credits, which coincidently meant that it was over, thank god. If Kevin Smith ever decides to continue any of his movies, I really hope he aims for an audience with a IQ higher than their age.

Though at its core it is a true Kevin Smith movie with geeky dialogue and a big heart, the ham-fisted love story and the sense that it was mostly just phoned in make it by far his weakest film. It has some very funny moments, though, but it's not even as good as Mallrats. They may have had fun making it, but I only had a little fun watching it.

The actors (especially O'Halloran) are dreadful. The dialogue sounds almost nothing like real dialogue. There are a few funny bits, but it was not worth sitting through this just for a few chuckles. Most of the humor is retarded. The plotting is entirely predictable. My stomach clenched when I was subjected to one of the most awful movie clichés: the "fixin it up" montage. And the movie's "lessons" are enlightening only to someone completely stunted in his emotional development. Painful.

In “Clerks II” (2006), Dante and Randal navigate life after the Quick Stop burns down, now working at Mooby’s. Despite changes like the absence of the Quick Stop, the film retains its witty dialogue, allowing characters to grow emotionally. Dante’s impending marriage and Randal’s unease add depth, while Rosario Dawson’s performance shines.

Smith's attempt to get back to "what he knows" is more of a slick, glossy riff on CLERKS than its own thing; enjoyable enough on that basis, with some funny moments and ideas, but it's a shame that Smith the director sometimes fumbles: the donkey sequence should have killed, but with the timing slightly off, it doesn't quite build and hit the way it should. Fun performances by its cast, with O'Halloran and Anderson slipping back in like a glove; Mewes also has some great interjections.

This updated Clerks doesn't have the same edginess or darkly comedic nihilism that the first film does. Smith tries to shoehorn in some themes about corporate greed, but it all feels like an unnecessary retread of the first film, albeit with a bigger budget. Jay and Silent Bob hold down their scenes, but the rest of the cast is underdeveloped and the film is neither as funny or as original as the first film.

While understandably far less amateur than the original, Clerks II fails to recapture the lightning in the bottle. Some homophobic jokes haven't aged well but remain funny for those unconcerned by modern PC standards. One my biggest problems is O'Halloran's Dante Hicks comes across as sleazy rather than roguish in his flirtations with Rosario Dawson who deserves high praise for single handedly giving the important romantic sub plot some weight, but Clerks II is otherwise decent fan service.

A lazy sequel about lazy people. A surprising number of jokes land, but then you think about it, and realize how many of them don't. Dawson clearly outclasses everyone involved and is fun to watch. Jay and Silent Bob mostly don't annoy. On the other hand, thankfully someone talked exec-producer Harvey Weinstein out of actually filming a giant-scale vagina dentata sequence.

Pretty much the same cast as the original but really is quite different than the first. Weird thing is I like them about the same, both good but not my favorite Smith movies. On this one it is much more of his newer style of humour and production. There are certainly many good belly laughs to be had assuming you 'get' Smith humour.

Kevin Smith brilliantly revisits his classic cast of convenience store characters in this much anticipated sequel. The film features much of the same elements and style seen in the original, however, interestingly expands on the characters since last seen years ago. Full of the expected pop-culture dialogue and crude humor, this sequel should give fans most of what they were hoping for.

Smith's return to his roots seemed both risky and desperate in 2006, and while Clerks II cannot really compete with the charmingly (s)crappy lo-fi quality of the original, it distinguishes itself on its own equally outrageous terms. The new characters are mostly likeable--especially Elias and Becky--while old favourites like Dante and Randall are developed in surprising and satisfying ways, revealing new depths that correspond with their current life-phase. It's damn funny at times too.

Smith's penchant for crassness and shock humor will only appeal to a certain (younger) segment of the audience, & his decision to create a defenseless character who only exists so that other characters can shoot fish in a barrel by heaping abuse on him is off-putting, but when his characters r discussing something more important than their d-cks the film reaches some great heights. The musical sequence is also one of the most rousing & surprising things the guy's ever done.

The movie spoke to me a lot more upon release six years ago, where bouncing from one shitty retail job to the next was about what I was doing. I really enjoyed it then. Now, it feels a little thin, and Smith is definitely reaching at times with the gross-out humour. It tries a bit too hard, but there are laughs here. Good ones, too. It could use a better editor than Smith himself, but at the time it marked something of a return to form for the man. Too bad how he gave up after Zack & Miri.

Clerks II isn't an improvement over its predecessor, but it wasn't really worse either. It occupies the same territory, goes about its business in the same way, and is almost the same film. It was fun, if easily forgettable, and I laughed quite a lot. That's really all you can ask for in a comedy, even if some of the jokes make you cringe instead of laugh. Individual elements rarely work, but the project eventually comes together and makes you laugh. Fans of Clerks will want to watch it.

The schtick is running a bit thin with me, but it's a decent enough effort at a sequel. It comes to some satisfying conclusions from the first film's anomie without making it completely unbelievable.

Definitely worth the time to fans of Kevin Smith or the first film.

I liked it, but for different reasons than the original Clerks. The humor is way more obnoxious and way less subtle, and it just generally feels like everyone is having way more fun than they were in the first movie. It's less unique and charming, but still has funny moments. The big difference is that the first movie pulled off its serious drama seamlessly and effectively, but in Clerks 2 it feels forced and not very engaging.

The official sequel can make no effort to match the scruffy integrity of its 1994 forerunner, least of all an effort to match the black-and-white photography. Not that the forerunner set any sort of mark to shoot for, but at least it accepted its limitations and worked within them. The memory of it had already been well and truly sullied, however, by repeated appearances of Jay and Silent Bob
