Review of Clerks

Clerks (1994)
10/10
Indy film-making at it's ultra-cheap best!

I don't know how pretentious a person has to be to NOT like this film. People slam it for all the things it can't help but being on a non- existent budget. Yes, the production value is low - they had no money! Yes, the acting is weak - they used all amateurs! Yes, the camera work is unimpressive - they had NO equipment! What is wrong with these critics? I've never even been on a movie set, but can tell what an accomplishment this film is for the budget. It made me laugh and it made most people laugh...that makes all the other stuff, based on the budget, forgivable. I am curious how a $27k budget is bulked up $200k in post and still look and sound the way it does...but I don't fault Kevin Smith for that. I just wish he was still making good movies.
