Holy cow - or should I say, Holy MOOBY'S ?!?! I just got the DVD a week ago - and I haven't been able to get it out of the player yet - I feel like Elias talking about how many times I've seen LoTR !!! I was in high school when the first Clerks appeared at the movie theatre in my city (Philly). I was astounded by the newness of that film (yet the film's in B&W). Fast-forward 12 years and I get my sights on Clerks II - I never imagined that Clerks could be outdone (don't get me wrong, Chasing Amy, Dogma, J&SBSB and even Jersey Girl are films that have better plots - but isn't there always something about your first ?!?!) Before I watched the film, I watched the intro with Kevin and Scott (Snowball !!!), and when I heard Kevin say this was his favorite of all his films, I thought - those are some big words Kevin ... let me just see for myself. Absolutely dead on with that review my friend !!!! Again, I could go into the sheer brilliance of Chasing Amy or the pure heart of Jersey Girl, or the B&W of Clerks - but as a whole, this films delivers in spades. THANK YOU KEVIN for keeping me entertained. I consider myself so lucky to have lived in the same age-group as your characters - to have grown with them - to have a support system on the screen to let me know I am not alone - and to also be a lover of New Jersey. Can't wait to see what's next ... ROCK ON, ROCK HARD !!!! Thanks for letting me be one of the "three" noted girls who picked up the DVD and is a true fan of your movies ... though I have it on good authority that there are a lot more than three of us out here !!!!

my least favorite Kevin Smith movie - still a GREAT film
14 December 2006
It's been a while since I've watched this film - so I am heading to the store this afternoon to pick it up as a belated birthday present to me from me. The characters are strong - it's got the jokes, the cast and of COURSE the brilliant director to boot ... Kevin Smith is my hero !!! (and I'm a 32 year old woman who went into Philly to see Clerks when it first came out back in 94 - best $10 I ever spent !!!) How can you not love watching Silent Bob "fly" ?!?! How can you not lose your cookies when Brodie talks about masturbation and "chocolate-covered pretzels". I may have a deeper love for Randal, Silent Bob, Jay, Holden, Alyssa, Dante and Banky, but T.S. and Brodie still rock a mall like no one else !!!
