You're not even supposed to be here.

The bittersweet goodbye to the Clerk series, Kevin Smith comes up with a movie which is more of his own emotional message to the fans. This time the movie is entirely about Clerks. Randal suffers an heart attack which the doctor terms as widow maker, only few make it through and Randal is among those few. To cope up with post heart attack depression, the doctor suggests Dante to keep Randal occupied and happy. Ergo, they come up with the plan of making Clerks titled Inconvenience, to document their own lives up and till then. What we get is to view what went behind the scenes while making Clerks, a rewind of sorts.

Dante however is still stuck in the past, unable to get over the loss of his beloved. So for him, to go through the events again during the making poses as a tough ask. Kevin Smith dwells into the characters of Randal and Dante, letting them have their respective epiphanies and a proper showdown to finally let their heart out. Randal gets a proper character arc as well. This is an out and out fan service with everyone getting to replay their bit. The voiceover during end credits by Kevin Smith best sums up the movie.
