"Clerks." is a live action comedy short film from 1995, so this one is already over 20 years old. It is directed by Michael Lessac and written by Richard Day. The characters are obviously based on Kevin Smith's very successful comedy movie "Clerks". I have not (yet?) seen that one, so I cannot comment really on similarities and differences, but I see the characters in here are of course played by other actors. This was intended as a weekly comedy show à la "How I Met Your Mother", but it did not get picked up, so these slightly over 20 minutes are all that stayed. I personally am not too mad about it. It is not a failure, but I am not sure the material is good enough for a show and most likely not for a show with more than one season runtime. Then again, I am usually the type of watcher who needs a couple episodes to start appreciating a show and one is not enough. This also applies to this one here. it is the usual. Chaotic guys, hot girls, some romance and more than just a few punchlines. As a whole, an okay watch, but nothing I'd really recommend let alone call memorable. I give it a thumbs-down overall.
