...the film's inherent deficiencies are generally overshadowed by the distinctly earnest vibe.
December 06, 2005
Kevin Smith actually pulled it off.
November 28, 2009
There's no denying the raw and energetic feel Smith created with a memorable script, great characters and a genuine sense of Gen X angst.
June 01, 2006
Smith dogpiles absurdity and obscenity on top of each other. The dullness of the dead-end jobs is brightened by bizarre bits--a fat guy asking for softer toilet paper, drops dead on the toilet.

At 24, Smith also knows something about casting. Using a mixture of stage actors and novices, he's found the right ensemble tone to make Clerks seem as spontaneous as it needs to be.

an exemplar of what can happen when the stars align and someone's home movie can help foment a revolution
May 20, 2003
A buoyant, bleakly funny comedy chronicling a day's worth of activity at two adjoining stores.
January 01, 2000
A collegiate and post-collegiate laugh fest.
January 01, 2000
The film looks no more expensive than it was; some of the acting (by local nonprofessionals) is spectacularly amateurish; the story is a series of anecdotes about hockey, shopping and loving the one you're with. But it's worth loitering in this shop.
January 01, 2000
Clerks is so utterly authentic that its heroes have never heard of their generation.
April 12, 2002
A hoot one moment, a hiss the next, the film is about as even as a city road after a hard winter. But the script's sheer vigour sees us through.
