Clerks II

I loved the movie but I'm a little ashamed that I did. The movie definitely is over-the-top with shock humor, but I think the tid-bits of social satire made it stomachable. I'm a huge fan of the original because of the long dialogues that revolve around pointless conversations. And Clerks II delivered a taste of these same themes.

The rant that Lord of the Rings is nowhere near the epic of Star Wars was all I needed to feel satisfied with the movie, but the new characters, thin plot, and cameo appearances kept my interest. Kevin Smith is a accidental genius. He's got something that keeps him going but I don't think he's been able to fully exploit it yet. He's been more hit and miss than blind gunman in a drive-by. Clerks great, Jersey Girl crap, Mallrats great, Jay and Silent Bob crap, Chasing Amy great. I'm going to just start seeing every other film he puts out.

If you like Clerks, then you have to see this film, it's required by law. If you don't, the universe will shallow you whole for throwing off the delicate cosmic balance.
