Clerks II is full of heart and amusement and a killer dance sequence that has not been seen in a comedy since Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Randal’s antics continue in grand fashion, this time joined alongside Rosario Dawson as a further foil. Smith knows his characters are older. He knows that they should move forward. But he also enjoys that Gen X procrastination factor, one that is obviously extended to the Nth degree in his humor. However, Smith’s humor opens into long-winded, expertly-written explorations into adulthood. Randal obviously luxuriates in his social standing. Dante wants more, but is too afraid to jump off whatever plans someone has made for his life. As amusing as this beautiful conflict becomes, Clerks II poorly mishandles what should have been the movie’s emotional climax in a most unfortunate and base setting. That fumble is recovered, however, and totally scores in the next scene where, while incarcerated, Randal fully commits his Philos love for Dante. Friendship restored, and comically full circle, Dante and Randal purchase the Quick Stop and return to a life that made them who they are. The comfort of home while acknowledging their responsibility as adults.

Clerks II was a nice follow-up to the original. I really feel like Kevin Smith hit it on the head with his amazing writing. I really feel like the characters were very well moved along in their lives. Not just another needless sequel.

Below the first one (That i liked very much).
This isn't real, unconventional or funny.
It is nice to see most of the faces from Clerks, years laters, but in this movie they appear out of place and tossed in a boring story, inconsistent and predictable.
This movie is filled with cheap jokes and fail to connect with his audience.
Sadly it didn't aged well.

This movie will make you laugh hard from beginning to end this is just classic Kevin Smith. While it is not as good as the original as not much is Rosario Dawson is great. I just can't say enough about how awesome this movie is and how much anybody should check this movie out.

While this sequel is more polished than the original (and it suffers a little as a result), the irreverent, crude humour remains.
One of Kevin Smith's better movies.

Clerks II intends to go to the wrong way of comedy while attempting to do whatever it wants to please itself. While that, it's also a little obvious that this film barely had made any effort on the laughs whatsoever.

This one made me laugh harder than it's predecessor, but less often. I feel like the artistic vision of the first movie was lost for more of gross-out comedy. Like I said, it did make me laugh, and it was worth the watch, but it's what you should expect from a sequel of a classic.

I can't say I enjoy this film as much as the first. I love all the banter between the characters. It reminds me of working at a minimum wage job myself but Randall and Dante just can't get away with as much after they have aged so much so that its a little less effective.

I really feel that Kevin Smith is over rated as a director. I liked Chasing Amy, dogma and mall rats but the clerks movie just don't do it for me. Its just to much potty humor for my taste.

I love this movie!! The first Clerks is great and this one is better than the original. Love all the jokes and love the new concept of working the recurring Mooby's. What handicap, the guy is in a wheelchair

a good movie that is funny but not as good as the first . the donkey show thing definitly should have been left out . randal though seems to be spot on and what id imagine him to be 10+ years later.
