Clerks 2
After the Weinstein Co. has kept fans chuckling with multiple trailers for Clerks II, the film has finally struck Cannes with a response that should easily rekindle the fandom behind Jay and Silent Bob.
Clerks II Early Review
Variety is the first to post a review for Clerks II and, though they admit that the film is not as cult-like as the original, it does feature the same energy and humor to help the 90-plus minutes fly right by.
It's Dante and Randal who strike back in Clerks II, a softer, flabbier and considerably higher-budgeted follow-up to Kevin Smith's 1994 indie sensation that nevertheless packs enough riotous exchanges and pungent sexual obscenities to make its 97 minutes pass by with ease. Politically incorrect raspberries and the umpteenth appearance of Jay and Silent Bob aside, a gentle feeling of nostalgia pervades this hit-or-miss sequel, which relocates the gang to the ninth circle of fast-food restaurant hell. "Clerks" cultists will need no kicks in the groin to step up to the counter for this second go-round, courtesy of the Weinstein Co.
One reason they mention why Clerks II will not have the cult status is simply because the film has had a much improved budget this time around.
Clerks II will hit theatres on July 21st.
