Clerks Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
adonis98-743-186503 Dante Hicks works as a clerk in a small convenience store and is told to come into work on his day off. He reads in the newspaper that his ex-girlfriend Caitlin is getting married. His present girlfriend reveals to have somewhat more experience with sex that he ever imagined. His buddy Randal Graves works as a clerk in the video store next and he hates his job just about as much as Dante hates his. Clerks is no masterpiece i'm afraid plus the storyline wasn't that good and the whole black and white? Totally threw me off in more ways and i was disappointed. (D+)
calorne This is a film in which the language and discussion are often crude, however the dialogue is crisp, authentic and not without philosophical wisdom. The film was made on a very low budget and so the cinematography is not terribly slick. It is a very funny film. Quirky, shocking and hilarious. I particularly like two scenes; the one with the eggs and one with the detective, but there are many many more that are excellent.
Predrag "Clerks" are about two guys, Dante and Randal. Dante is the main character, who is having the worst day of his life. The day never goes right for him, for starters he isn't meant to be at work, on top of that there are constant bickers with his girlfriend and not to mention his video store sidekick Randal. Whereas Dante is dislikeable and at times annoying Randal is the comic relief. A genius character, who doesn't give a damn about his work. The two characters work off each other brilliantly, the picture and direction may not be great but the script is genius, extremely funny and witty, which makes it one of the funniest movies of all time. Kevin Smith rocks!The charm of this film resides entirely in the dialogs and in strange and sometimes weird (even creepy) situations. The conversations between Dante and Randall cover a large variety of topics, including but not limited to "Star Wars" and life in general... The conversations they have with various customers are even better... Two small time marijuana dealers, Jay and Silent Bob, who make their sales in front of the two shops, intervene in a couple of occasions - they don't say much, but their contributions are important. The language is very strong and the humour occasionally doesn't fly very high but still, this film has considerable charm and some gags are simply irresistible. Cynical and lucid Randal is a character somehow more appealing than Dante, on whom the whole story focuses, but ultimately I grew fond of both of them. Bottom line, this is an excellent, quite clever little comedy, with certainly a lot of strong language (but ultimately not so many "F" bombs) and a little bit of necrophilia, but ultimately surprisingly tender and gentle.Overall rating: 9 out of 10.
DerekR123 I decided to check out Clerks one day and I was not disappointed this movie is simply amazing everything about it is perfect. The characters are funny and memorable and each person is unique in their own way I love the indie style of the film because the budget was $27,575 and they had to use black and white cameras but they did such a good job on using their limited resources and proves that you don't need millions of dollars to create a film, also some scenes can maybe relate to people who have or had worked at a movie or convenience store overall its hands down one of the best films I've ever seen it may be in black and white but it will still make you laugh.
