One of those movie reviews

This is another one of those assignments I took from this blog. Sometimes you need someone to kick you in the ass to get anything done at all. Let this be a lesson to you all.


Clerks 2: With no power comes no responsibility

Twelve years ago Dante and Randal worked at a Quick Stop Convenient Store peddling cigarettes and other indispensable items to the uninterested public. The tag line then was “Just because they serve you doesn’t mean they like you”. It was just two guys working a dead end job while they tried to figure out what they were supposed to do with their life.

Now over ten years later something radical happens to the dynamic duo. Something that will irrevocably change their life forever – the Quick Stop burns to the ground. That leaves them no other choice than move on to another dead end job at Mooby’s. In the real world Mooby’s would have been called Mc Donald complete with the bright colors and the deceptive family themed meals.

Just as the first installment it all takes place in the space of one day. Dante is getting married and is moving to florida with his wife to be, who by the way have a really big clit. To mark the momentous event Randal decides to throw a going away party. Trust me when I say it is going to a day to remember.

The first Clerks were director Kevin Smith’s directorial debut all shot in black and white to save money. It was a dialogue driven story that mixed existential thoughts about growing up with long monologues revolving around subjects such as hermaphrodite porn and Star Wars. The second movie uses the same mix of raunchy language and spot on thoughts about being thirty. The movie really is about taking the final step from boyhood to adulthood. About doing it your way and not the way everyone else want you to. I could not help but smile with a mix of repulsion and recognition as I watched it.

You either love it or you don’t. Either way it is a sweet little tale about two thirty something’s finally growing up... Ohh, that and interspecies erotica.
