Clerks 2 review by Paul Harrison
Nearly...

This is a very funny film in it's own right. Being a big fan of the origional Clerks, I was very pleased and worried it would destroy the power of the first one. But it is extremely good.
Catching up with the old characters was both touching and funny, and the new guys are really good too.
Overall a pretty good mix of old and new and an extremely funny film.

Clerks 2 review by Tom Geraghty
Absolute filthy genius
(1) of (2) members found this review helpful.
If you liked or loved the original Clerks, you'll love Clerks II. Full of the quick, witty, often melancholy and usually crude dialogue that made the original so entertaining, Clerks II follows the lives of the two main characters as they near proper adulthood and have to think about grown-up things like marriage and babies.
Nearly all the original cast make an appearance, as do many of the original gags, which if you remember the original well, will have you giggling like a lunatic while the uninitiated wonder what the hell is going on.
Oh, and if you thought the original Clerks broke taboos and crossed boundaries (remember "chicks with d*cks"), this one goes even further.

Clerks 2 review by JD
Good fun
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
Unlike the other reviewers I have not seen the original. It is really good fun. I did object to the claim that it starred Ben Affleck. His cameo is possibly the briefest since Hitchcock. A bit of a goof-ball (I don't use the phrase endearingly) but the characters mix well and when everyone dances together to Michael Jackson I defy you not to smile. The scene with Kelly the animal eroticist is hysterical.

Clerks 2 review by Kurtz
Kevin pulls it off
(0) of (1) members found this review helpful.
Improving on a nineties comedy classic is a hell of a challenge but Kevin Smith manages it in this excellent follow-up. The original cheapo black and white look is gone but the scabrous dialogue about... well, nothing really, still provides the bedrock of the humour. Smith broadens the focus of the film just a touch,changing the setting and bringing in three excellent new characters, including his wife Jen as Dante's fiancée and a brilliant Rosario Dawson who softens her usual vamp act and twinkles gorgeously from behind a pair of specs. Standout for me though,is Jeff Anderson who is appealingly dorky as the central pair's junior co-worker and instantly becomes the butt of Randall's rants.Not one to watch with the in-laws (unless they're into donkey love), but hugely dirty fun. Thanks, Mr. Smith!

surprisingly watchable

Initially you may be out off with this one but give it time and it turns into a memorable comedy with a feel good ending. 8/10.
