Rating: Summary: a great Comedy!!! Review: Clerks has to be one of the most hilarious films of all time. Dante and Randall were just a bunch of ordinary clerks who r [angry] all the time. They hate thier jobs, customrers, ect. Randall and Dante happen to be very funny characters, they show what it is like working in a convient and video store. they play hockey on roofs, curse out customers, and get paid to sit around. Buy this movie and get tons of laughs.
Rating: Summary: What a wookie!! Review: "Clerks" is truely one of the new classics. Kevin Smth does a wonderful job of capturing the menatony and pointless existance of being a blue collar worker. We have everyone here Dante-The clerk who closes the store to go to a funeral Randel-The video store worker who sees nothing wrong with closing the store to go to another video store Jay and Bob-Two very intellecual drug dealers my personal fav has to be the roofer, with whom Dante and Randel have an eye opening conversation about the Death Star. If you like a good independent flim I highly recommend this.
Rating: Summary: IT'S GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!! Review: I LOVE THIS MOVIE! CLERKS is a battle cry for anybody like my- self who has ever held a customer service job! The writing is brilliant, the characters are unforgettable and very funny, the music is great; it's just one heck of a movie!!! I avoided watch- ing CLERKS at first just because it was so hyped up and praised by the critics and moviegoers alike, but I soon learned the err- ors of my ways and really got into the movie after viewing it with one of my former housemates! There are so many funny scenes in this! I love that part where that Russian guy sings the song BERSERKER and the scene where that Chewley's rep gets all the customers riled up about smoking, the hockey scene on the roof- top is funny, but my FAVORITE scene has to be when RANDALL tells off that customer in the video scene! The dialogue is perfect and I like how JAY puts an exclamation point at the end of it! There are many funny characters, but I would have to say that my favor- ite is SNOWBALL. He just kind of wanders around in the movie, showing up at various times and the deleted scene with him is hilarious. I really enjoyed the DVD version of this, with all the deleted scenes and the running commentary. It was also interest- ing to see the original final scene. I'ts easy to see why they didn't put it in the film. I also like how during one argument that DANTE is having with VERONICA that the camera shows a shot of the cat reacting! This is a classic film and one of the funn- iest films ever made!
Rating: Summary: A Must Watch, Even if you are not a Kevin Smith Fan. Review: Personally. I'm not a Kevin Smith fan. However when I purchased and watched this yesterday, my brother and I could not stop laughing. We loved all the scenes, especialy with the guy in the bathroom after Dante's Ex came out. Funny stuff. A real depiction of what REALLY happens behind the counter of any retail business. This is a must have for anyone who works in retail. Like me, if you work in retail, you know what they mean by "just because they serve you, doesn't mean they like you." And on top of that, it's well priced here at Amazon. Just buy it today and enjoy the quality (even though it is in black and white) comedy that Clerks has to offer.
Rating: Summary: THIS IS THE BEST KEVIN SMITH MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!! Review: this movie is worth every cent you give!!!!!!!!!it is a great movie! and if you like really funny humor, you will really like this movie. it is Kevin Smith's best movie he has ever made..and if you want to know Kevin's worst, it is Mallrats.......But Clerks is a Kevin Smith classic with no doubt.....i reccomend this movie to you.......NOW GO BUY IT!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Kevin Smith's breakthough film Review: This film is a great example of how clever writing is more valuable than a huge budget. Kevin Smith made this movie on maxed-out credit cards, but it's still a classic because it is well written and the characters are memorable. The DVD has plenty of features, including an alternate ending that might have changed the perception of the film and a good commentary track. This is a must-have title for any fan of any Kevin Smith film.
Rating: Summary: Clever Dialogue... Review: Actually I'd give this 3.5 stars. Midway through I was ready for it to end. My expectations were too high...after seeing Mallrats and Chasing Amy (both of which I LOVE!!!!). DVD has Bonus "Orignal Ending". I don't know why they changed it...The Orignal Ending DEFINES Dark Comedy.
Rating: Summary: Recommened for anyone K-6. Review: IF YOU STILL LIKE TO SNICKER AND GIGGLE AT "REALLY GOOD DIRTY JOKES" THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE. TO PARAPHRASE ONE OF THE HIGH POINTS: DANTE: "SO... HOW MANY GUYS HAVE YOU HAD?" VERONICA: "THIRTY EIGHT..." DANTE: "THIRTY EIGHT!!!???" VERONICA: "WELL... THIRTY NINE COUNTING YOU." SNICKER SNICKER! - GIGGLE GIGGLE! AND NOT ONLY THAT, YOU ARE TREATED TO A SPECIAL COMMAND PERFORMANCE BY NONE OTHER THAN THE "director" HIMSELF, KEVIN SMITH AS THE CHAIN-SMOKING SAY NOTHING "DUH!", SILENT BOB! WHAT A PERFORMANCE!! MY ONLY WONDER IS WHY HE WASN'T NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR - AFTER ALL, HE'S BETTER THAN Barney Rubble, EH? THE SCENE WHERE DANTE AND RANDAL ARE BEHIND THE CASH REGISTER DIALOGING ON DANTE'S LOVE LIFE LOOKS AND SOUNDS AS WOODEN AS IF THEY ARE READING FROM OFF-SCREEN TELEPROMPTERS. OH! OH! AND ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT: DON'T CHA JUST LOVE IT WHEN A YOUNG LADY AND HER DAUGHTER ENTER RANDAL'S VIDEO STORE AND HAVE TO WAIT WHILE RANDAL ORDERS ABOUT 30 XXX-RATED TITLES FROM HIS SUPPLIER??? THAT ONE "REALLY" DESERVES A 3-SNICKER&3-GIGGLE SO... SNICKER SNICKER SNICKER! - GIGGLE GIGGLE GIGGLE! SO, KIDDIES, NEXT TIME YOU'RE LOST WHEN IT COMES YOUR TURN TO TELL A "REALLY FUNNY DIRTY JOKE" AT WORK WITH YOUR BUD'S OR YOUR GIRLFRIENDS, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS REMEMBER ALL THE HILARIOUSLY FUNNY STUFF FROM THIS MOVIE!!! HAVE FUN... SNICKER SNICKER! GIGGLE GIGGLE!
Rating: Summary: berserker Review: As the crude, yet honest Randall states in this flick, "You'll feel a lot better if you just rip into the occasional customer." This hilarious, low-budget, well-written comedy seems to be an excercise in venting frustration relatable to anyone who's ever served the public. Equally as important in this movie are the ugly relationship themes of jealousy and infidelity, which Kevin Smith manages to portray so nakedly honest and familiar that one can't help but laugh ...Despite moments in which the mouthfulls of intelligent dialogue seem too much for the actors to deliver, the black-and-white photography gives the viewer the feeling of watching a day's worth of surveillance footage at a local convenience store... which just so happens to be the funniest day to ever transpire there.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely the best dialogue ever. Review: This film should put to shame all the Hollywood blockbusters out there that spend millions on big name actors and special effects and $1.50 on scripts. Clerks was made for $27,000 with no-name actors by an inexperienced 1st-time director and it outshines them all. The main reason for this is because of the amazingly hilarious dialogue. From the opening scenes to the Chewlies Gum representative to the now famous Star Wars and Jaws discussions, every character and every line was well thought out and fit perfectly. Would it have been nice to see the movie in color and on good quality film? I guess. Would it have been technically better if directed with more style? I suppose. But it is time to look beyond that and see this movie for what it is. An absolutely hilarious and well-written comdedy. If you are looking to laugh (and don't mind a lot of profanity), then your search has ended. The DVD also has some nice special features, just like every other Smith release. Commentary, deleted scenes (including the alternate ending), and tons more. I highly recommend this film.
