Clerk Movie

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Kevin Smith's work, however before Clerks I had never even heard of him. Some of you may or may not know that Clerks was made for a small amount of money only $25,000 in fact and it was so good that it earned over $3 million. However putting that aside for one minute lets get onto the review.

I can't really tell you much about the plot of this movie because really there isn't much of a story just a bunch of events that happen during one day behind the counters of two adjacent convenience stores. One of the store employees is Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran) who is supposed to not be working on the day this movie takes place however he is asked to come in by the boss and being the kind guy that he is he agrees to work a few hours in the morning however he ends up staying the whole day. Next door to this convenience store is a video store and Randal Hicks works there. Randal is the complete opposite of Dante and is often very rude to the customers.

Randal and Dante are both in their 20's and are trying to find their way in life however they don't seam to get far as their often talking about sex and other goings on that you probably shouldn't in a store.

Through out the day we get to see a wide variety of characters and two of them that are now household names Jay and Silent Bob make up the quality of this movie. Jay is a young man who cant seam to keep still or even keep quiet for that matter who constantly shouts out bad language and also talks about sex a lot, Silent Bob is in fact silent and doesn't move or do much through out the movie.

This movie is really a bunch of continuous conversations which range from sex to star wars and will have you laughing for most of the duration of the movie. Having said that Clerks isn't a movie for everyone's taste, however if strong language doesn't offend you then if you haven't seen Clerks I strongly recommend getting this movie.
