People like to come down hard on this as being nothing more than fraudulent and unnecessary, and I don't think that's very fair. It's not the same movie done over again. If it had been, then I would say yes, but no. They do manage to pull off something different, and it isn't jus... read more

November 20, 2011fb1664868775Smith's last great film (apparently) exceeded my expectations all around. Though not nearly as smart or witty as the original, it makes up for that with crude but hilarious dialogue and some great performances. The only problem is that like many films in the comedy drama, the hil... read more

October 27, 2011fb729949618I died with laughter when I first saw this film. It might not be funny to some, but this is definitely my type of raunchy humor.

Randall: What can I get for you, you little porch monkey?

Randall: It's okay, I'm taking it back!
My first thought after viewing 'Clerks II' was wow, this magnificent sequel just almost surpassed the original. Clerks 2 begins 10 years after the first one. Dante and R... read more -
June 1, 2011fb535316333More than often feels like a reiteration of the first film with a resolved Hollywood ending. Not that such a statement makes this a bad thing. Everything we loved about the first film is there, Smith's brand of humor, his ability to find insight while delivering the raw vulgariti... read more

Clerks II is one of the craziest and most memorable comedies in recent memory. The film follows events of the first film, and really this is a top notch sequel. I thought it equaled the hilarity of the first, and is in the same league as the original. Clerks II is a very funny fi... read more

Its one of the only films I have watched that summed up the era from 2000-2005 with precision, so I'll give it an A+. I would also recommend it for someone to watch, so thats a big fat tick in my books. But I have to agree with a lot of people that "it just could have been better... read more

Kevin Smith continues his run of cinematic disappointments with a needlessly desperate sequel to the indie classic that made his name.
Clerks II seems to be an attempt to bolt his immature profanity-heavy early work on his 'respectable' familial comdy Jersey Girl. The result... read more -

Much better than the original, but not as original in it's Grunge and 90's element as the original. Still, very funny and worth the watch.

February 4, 2010fb733768972I rate it the same as the first, because the plot is worse, but the humor is more laughable, and the characters are more fun!
Critic Reviews
It has a more authentic everyday feel than a lot of movies. But it's also very talky and philosophical for a comedy, which would be okay, except the philosophy is kind of shallow. Full Review
Smith, an inherent optimist, has made a movie full of crude humor that also manages to explore the enduring qualities of friendship. Full Review
What [Smith] knows, better than anyone out there, is how rudely funny and deliriously self-deluding those types can be. Full Review
Not that Butch and Sundance (or even Harold and Kumar) are going to sweat their place in the buddy movie hall of fame.
Though Clerks II is in color, the acting is just as amateurish and the directing just as awkward as the black-and-white original. Dawson gives the only competent performance, and only Becky and the ab... Full Review
All is well with the Clerks world when these stoners take the screen... and prove that guys can grow old and stay immature forever.
Whatever your expectations, they will almost certainly be exceeded by Smith's hilarious and creative return to low-budget cinema. Full Review
While it's the sadness of the aging geek that resonates most potently throughout Clerks II, the movie itself is far too glib to let anything that bleak get close enough to the surface to bubble over a... Full Review
