If you're in the market for wildly funny entertainment, CLERKS delivers with wholesale hilarity! It's one wacky day in the life of a pair of overworked counter jockeys whose razor-sharp wit and on-the-job antics give a whole new meaning to customer service! Even while bracing a nonstop parade of unpredictable shoppers, the clerks manage to play hockey on the roof, visit a funeral home, and straighten out their offbeat love lives! The boss is nowhere in sight, so you can bet anything can -- and will -- happen when these guys are left to run the store.

Summary: Clerks is awesome
Comment: This was the movie that lead me to the genius that is Kevin Smith. This was his first movie and I think it's the second best movie he has ever made. This is one of the comedies that echo truth that exists in you that you can only understand if you have actually worked as a convenience store clerk. The lead character Dante Hicks has to deal with irate customers, a girlfriend that has issues with his stature in life, an nymphomatic ex-girlfriend, and a best friend that almost wants to see him fail.
This is one of the ultimate slacker comedies. I was first aware of because of an article in Details magazine hailing it as one the latest and greatest independent films released. I went out to Suncoast Video (do those even exist anymore?) and purchased the VHS tape for 29.99 and went home and immediately popped it in the video tape.
This is one the best movie for one liners that you repeat to your friends. This is one of the movies where either you get it or you don't. It's one of the greatest slacker comedies made. If you haven't seen this movie, stop what you are doing and go out and get it.
I assure you this post is closed.

Summary: the first and the begining of some thing new

Summary: IF YOU WANT A GOOD TIME, THIS IS IT!
Comment: Our family had just been hit with another development in a devastating event which we had been trying to deal with for 10 years when "Clerks I" and "Clerks II" was delivered to our house. If you just want to decompress, chill out, and think about absolutely nothing "grown up", this is the movie for you. An hour and a half of sheer hilarity with some of the best deadpan acting since Charlie Chaplin. A rollicking good time. Part of the beauty of shoestring budget films is that every take must count. And whatever is deleted is just too funny for the world to handle. Thank you, Kevin Smith, for giving us a little while to just be silly.

Summary: Must Have!
Comment: For anyone that's actually worked retail, this is an excellent choice. In some parts, it's painfully accurate; in others, it's a realization of what many wish they could do and not lose the job at which they work. (At least it was like that for me.) Upon the first viewing, it's obvious that it's low budget; but once you think about it, do you really need a budget to describe a day in the life of your average Clerk? Not really.
All that aside; it's a hilarious, albeit filthy movie. Additionally the special edition is chock full o' extras, including the somewhat more depressing director's cut.

Summary: Just because they serve you, doesn't mean they like you !!
Comment: This is the definitive version of Clerks. if you are anything like me, when you first told other people about Clerks they probably said "Clerks, never heard of it." And when you said that Kevin Smith was the last saving bastion of the crumbling film world, they said "Kevin Who??"
Well now that all of those saps have finally caught up to the rest of us who are leading the pack. You can now get this and stay one step ahead again. The theatrical release, The first Clerks cut and a superb doco. All are priceless.
Even though there are some young sad Emo's out there saying "Clerks II, there was never a Clerks I"
Like a great man once said "I pity da fool"
10/10 for this 3-Disc, 10th Anniversary set and all of it's glorious extras.
