Review of Clerks II

Clerks II (2006)
8/10
A Very Fitting Sequel.
21 June 2008
As a fan of the original Clerks, I got very excited when I heard about this. Dante and Randal in their thirties, that's something I gotta watch.

While I did not like it as much as the first one (the first one being my favorite Kevin Smith movie) I still enjoyed it a lot. Dante and Randal are characters that I love, so watching them again was amazing. They still maintain that attitude from the original but we got to see more of them this time around. Especially for Randal's character, it was great to see a side we hadn't seen before.

Jay & Silent Bob are hilarious as usual. The new characters were well-written, Elias is very funny and Becky (played by Rosario Dawson) was a very nice addition to Dante's character.

The movie is hilarious. The humor I think is quite different from the original's humor, but I'm not comparing the two movies because that's an unfair way to judge a movie.

Clerks II is my second favorite Kevin Smith movie, right behind the original. Mostly because of Dante and Randal and how Smith stayed true to the characters but gave them more maturity without changing their personalities.

I assure you, we're re-open.
