Product Description

From Amazon.com
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

Review
While Clerks doesn't have much going for it cinematically -- it looks even cheaper than its $27,000 budget would lead you to expect and the directorial style can be described as "nail down the camera and let the actors play the scene" -- it's still an effective and very funny movie, largely thanks to the screenplay by first-time writer/director Kevin Smith. Chock full of instantly quotable dialogue performed by an unknown cast with an appropriate tone of Jersey slacker cynicism, Clerks is a hilarious rant against (and from) the lowest rungs of minimum-wage slavery. If convenience store clerk Dante (Brian O'Halloran) and his best friend, video store counter guy Randall (Jeff Anderson), don't do anything terribly interesting (the action high point of the film is a brief hockey game played on a roof), that's part of the point; these guys' lives are going nowhere, and they know it. But rather than do anything about it, they talk about whatever keeps them from dying of boredom, including which Star Wars movie was the best, the sexual escapades of their girlfriends, the virtues of hermaphrodite porn, and the endless parade of stupid customers they have to deal with. Anyone who has ever worked retail will enjoy a long, loud laugh of bitter recognition while watching Clerks, while anyone else should thank their lucky stars if they don't understand the sheer hell of spending eight hours behind the counter that this film captures with such accuracy. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars if you're looking for quality than look no further!!!, Sep 8 2004
By mike nero (welland, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
PLEASE do NOT pay any attention to the first review -- that guy is a moron and wouldn't know a good film if it slapped him in the face (which i feel like doing after reading his lame ass excuse for being Roger Ebert) He didnt like the film because it's in B&W -- NICE -- i guess we should dismiss Citizen Kane as a great film as well then -- IDIOT!!! This is the film that started it all -- part 1 of the New Jersey Trilogy and by far Kevin Smith's BEST film -- i need not say any more EXCEPT that if you plan on buying ANY movie and this isn't already part of your collection, then your collection will never be complete until it is!!! watch it for yourself and enjoy pure comedic genious and wit at its best -- as for "Anthony" -- stick to "She's All That" because you don't even deserve to put this film into your DVD player!!
