Summary: Clerks
Review: The Indie movie that got Kevin Smith and Co. their start in the business. Clerks was easily one of the best ones because it was funnier than all hell and completely messed up (some parts in the movie like when Dante talks to Veronica about her previous boyfriends!).I will say, Clerks has the film quality of a dead rat. The images are really unclean and slmost raspy in a way because of it's stile of film (Black and White). This might be a turn off for some people but I assure you that what's in the movie is what really counts like story itself, the comedy and everything else. Honestly, you have to overlook the film quality before you judge this movie. Great movie, check out Clerks first if you've never seen a Kevin Smith movie. After that, check out Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma and of course the mother load, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Again, very cool, check it out!

Summary: What's wrong with black and white?
Review: I was sad when I read a review by a guy who said he didn't watch CLerks when he discovered it black and white. He truly doesn't know what he's missing. This movie is awesome, and just because it is black and white, well why does that matter?

Summary: Customer Service Rep
Review: I worked in customer service for a handful of companies, therefore, I found myself identifying a lot wiith Kevin Smith's first film, CLERKS. Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran) hates his job as a convience store clerk. The film takes us through a steady stream of patrons during Dante's shift. The day is not without its breaks though. In between customer problems, there's time for a rooftop hockey game, making up with a girlfriend, a visit to a funeral home, and pondering life's questions. Shot in black and white and on a shoestring budget, the film is a riotous look at the world of retail As part one of the "Jersey" trilogy, CLERKS introduced the world to Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith). The movie give us a hilarious but true look at the retail industry. The Collector's Series DVD has a fine group commentary track with the cast and crew. The deleted scenes, with an introduction from Smith, are pretty funny. As for the "alternate" ending, I think that it might have worked, because it's not what you might expect, given the rest of the film. The theatrical trailer and a video by Soul Asylum from the soundtrack, top off the extras, on the disc. 4 and a half stars, first effort, that is recommended.

Summary: You see a set of keys around here?
Review: It's black and white, but don't worry - it's not a pretenious independent film. "Clerks" is a defining movie for the early 90's grunge/alternative era. Always vulgar, usually funny, and never pulling any punches, Kevin Smith put his name on the map with this hilarious film. Yeah, the acting is bad. The sound isn't great. And there are no special effects or big explosions. If that's what you need for a good movie; go rent the fast and the furious. But if you want a film that's edgy and truly innovative, check this one out. "Clerks" is one of the best movies of the past twenty years!

Review: Then you will not want to see this movie in any way, giving it an R-rateing is not enough, Try "For Morons Only."

Summary: Black and White?
Review: I was prepared to laugh when I slipped Clerks into my DVD player, but the moment I saw it was black and whit I took it out and returned it. I own every Jay and Silent Bob movie (and the Clerks animated series) on DVD, but refuse to buy this 'till a colored version comes out.

Summary: 16mm film that doesn't suck. ..
Review: The film that introduced us to Jay and Silent Bob, brought writer/directer Kevin Smith to the forefront. This movie is brilliantly witty and criminally vulgar. Above all else it is hilarious. Brian O'Halleron's character Dante plays a great loser. Dante and Randall are great at debating the most pointless things. It is also funny to see the placement of this film in the series of Kevin Smith movies as they are all inter-related. Well worth the money, and damn funny, this is a must have for anyone who likes sarcastic comedy or has liked any other Kevin Smith movie.

Summary: a cult classic
Review: When I first watched this movie, I didn't expect much. But after the first viewing I must say that it is one of the best films of the 90's. Why? Because it started such a cult following like no other. Very similar to the Star Wars or Star Trek phenomena. In fact with so many references to Star Wars in Kevin Smith films (Jay/C-3P0 Silent bob/R2-D2) its no wonder it has become almost as popular. I enjoy this film because it is subtle but very true. Kevin Smith has a knack for writing films that hit close to home and are down to earth. None of his movies are completely far fetched (Strike Back and Dogma were a little far fetched, but none the less very good movies with Dogma being the better film) Mallrats which is the worst of them all is not nearly as comical or true as Clerks. I've seen the alternate ending and it is pretty shocking. I'm glad Smith took it out. It was not needed and would have ruined the whole series of films.

Summary: OOOOOH! NAVY SEALS!
Review: Awesome movie, seeing this makes you forget that the horrendous picture, JAy and Silent Bob Strike Back, ever existed, its Smiths second best, second only to Dogma.
This movie is of the life of an underpaid clerk who "shouldnt be there today", and comes across many problems like seeing his ex girlfriend is going to marry someone else, an old friend dies, and questions life. He is criticized by his friend Randal for being much too apoligetic and tells him to rip into the occassional customer, which Randal does all too often great movie, the DVD is a bit grainy, but you forget within 5 minutes. My list in order of the best NJ Films
Dogma
Clerks
Chasing Amy
Mallrats
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
