Editorial Review:
Before Kevin Smith became a Hollywood darling with Chasing Amy, a film he wrote and directed, he made this $27,000 comedy about real-life experiences working for chump change at a New Jersey convenience store. A rude, foul-mouthed collection of anecdotes about the responsibilities that go with being on the wrong side of the till, the film is also a relationship story that takes some hilarious turns once the lovers start revealing their sexual histories to one another. In the best tradition of first-time, ultra-low budget independent films, Smith uses Clerks as an audition piece, demonstrating that he not only can handle two-character comedy but also has an eye for action--as proven in a smoothly handled rooftop hockey scene. Smith himself appears as a silent figure who hangs out on the fringes of the store's property. --Tom Keogh
If you're in the market for wildly funny entertainment, CLERKS delivers with wholesale hilarity! It's one wacky day in the life of a pair of overworked counter jockeys whose razor-sharp wit and on-the-job antics give a whole new meaning to customer service! Even while bracing a nonstop parade of unpredictable shoppers, the clerks manage to play hockey on the roof, visit a funeral home, and straighten out their offbeat love lives! The boss is nowhere in sight, so you can bet anything can -- and will -- happen when these guys are left to run the store.

Rating:  - Must Have!
For anyone that's actually worked retail, this is an excellent choice. In some parts, it's painfully accurate; in others, it's a realization of what many wish they could do and not lose the job at which they work. (At least it was like that for me.) Upon the first viewing, it's obvious that it's low budget; but once you think about it, do you really need a budget to describe a day in the life of your average Clerk? Not really.
All that aside; it's a hilarious, albeit filthy movie. ... Read More
Rating: - Just because they serve you, doesn't mean they like you !!
This is the definitive version of Clerks. if you are anything like me, when you first told other people about Clerks they probably said "Clerks, never heard of it." And when you said that Kevin Smith was the last saving bastion of the crumbling film world, they said "Kevin Who??"
Well now that all of those saps have finally caught up to the rest of us who are leading the pack. You can now get this and stay one step ahead again. The theatrical release, The first Clerks cut and a superb doco. All ... Read More
Rating: - Kevin Smith's breakthrough movie
"I'm not even supposed to be here!" Says Dante, who must replace his boss at the convenience store on his day off. Witty dialogue, annoying customers, and perplexing twentysomething existentialism ensues. Kevin Smith's breakthrough award winning movie just goes to show you that with as little as 2000 dollars, you can make a sundance nominated movie.
Rating: - Vulgar, raw, real, funny but not overly silly...a true cult comedy classic!
Kevin Smith's first movie in "The Jersey Trilogy" is arguably still his all-time best! Shot in Black & White on a low budget, it features content over flash. It chronicles a day in the life of Dante Hicks, a convenience store clerk who gets called in to work on his day off. His friend Randall Graves works at the low-rate video store across the way. Randall is a bitter, cynical young guy who doesn't like or respect anyone or anything (except maybe hermaphorditic porn). Through all his trials in ... Read More
Rating:  - Clerks
I thought this film was good. A cult film by Kevin Smith, with great characters, especially Randall and Dante, also the hilarious Jay and Silent Bob.
A good DVD for all Kevin Smith fans to own.
