Clerks II (2006)
6/10
Clerks II is both funny and unfunny
24 February 2008
I only had a few problems with the original. A few of the lines were spit out too fast. The worst one came from the hockey player who wanted the Gatorade. Other than that it was groundbreaking and funny.

In Clerks II O'Halloran has regressed as an actor - or is it that Smith regressed as a director? That long stare as Dante watches the fire department crew was terrible. Some of the reactions to Randal's comments in Moobies were way overblown. The constant looking over to Randal in the car got repetitively annoying.

Emma looks like a man. What the hell happened to her looks? Her head is shaped like a knee bone, and that make out scene with Dante made me want to throw up.

Elias acts like a retard and is too much of a dork to be believable.

Chicks who use the word pooter and cooch disgust me. Those are terms guys use more, and are funnier when guys say them. Pus sy sounds better coming from a girl.

Randal's crying to Dante in the jail cell totally took away from his character. We don't need drama to balance the comedy. Plus he contradicts himself when he suggests laser bars, then when Jay says plastic like in X-men Randal tells him to keep it in the real world. The funniest part of his tirade was when he talks about taking a criminology class. "What were we trying to become - Batman?" I'm not totally dissing this movie and still watch it when it comes on cable, but I turn the channel before the jail scene. It's just too unbelievable - the way Dante pined away at working at the Quick Stop and now he wants to buy it and work there forever. Clerks was a classic - Clerks 2 is more of a wannabe, even though it is still entertaining.
