Is Clerks a good movie?

[John]

I bought the DVD a while back for the helluva it. Is it a winner?

 

[tomcat]

its alright, pretty funny, but nothing too special.

I need a good 'Sunday worthy' movie. I have a pretty large DVD collection.

 

[loogie]

I enjoyed it. Its basically a lot of dialogue, which Smith excels at.

 

[vi edit]

If you enjoyed "Big Lebowski", you *should* enjoy Clerks.

Clerks ranks up there as one of my all time favorite movies. It's a movie where the main actor is the dialog.

Clerks was awesome, I didn't like the Big Lebowski that much...
Kevin Smith is the man...

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

That movie kicks ass.

 

[Raspewtin]

I thought it was extremely boring, I liked his follow up movie though

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

Well, considering it only took $30,000 to make and it grossed Millions of $$, I'd say it's a damn good movie.

I haven't seen a Kevin Smith movie I didn't like. Very funny stuff.

 

[iamwiz82]

excellent movie. Very witty dialogue. There is action if you watch the alternate ending, too =].

 

[tim0thy]

<< Very witty dialogue >>



that's one thing i got from all of Kevin Smith's films... i like them all.

 

[konichiwa]

What other films does he have?

 

[The LIdless Eye]

Clerks kicks ass. also check out Chasing Amy.

 

[weezergirl]

mallrats and dogma to name a few. btw, weezer's song suzanne is in mallrats!

 

[bonk102]

Clerks is a funny ass movie, i want to get it on DVD now that you have me thinking about it

 

[konichiwa]

Dogma? That was a Kevin Smith movie? I love that movie! Maybe I'll have to check out Clerks or Chasing Amy.

 

[iamwiz82]

check out clerks, then chasing amy, and then mallrats. Those 3 movies all were made to take place in one week in New Jersey, that was the beauty of it. Each movie had characters from othe movies, which i really like. Also, in clerks, they go to see the guys girlfriend who had died, that same funeral is talked about in the first 5 min of mallrats, when they decide not to go on their trip, since the chick had died.

 

[Mistah Magik]

all of kevin smith's movies rule... clerks, mallrats, chasing amy, and dogma. I know he worked with the movie Good Will Hunting too.... a must have for dvd lovers..

 

[fdiskboy]

I thought it sucked. The same guy made the Big Lebowski?

No wonder it sucked too. That speaks volumes.

 

The acting sucked but it is worth seeing. See it for the &quot;Return of the Jedi contractors&quot; scene, if anything.

 

[iamwiz82]

i liked the russian guy. LOL, his song was funny as hell.

 

[cipher00]

Yes.

Just don't go into Clerks with high expectations. It's an extremely low-budg film and it might disappoint you if you're expecting it to be like Mallrats or Dogma or Chasing Amy.

Don't get me wrong--I love it. It's just different and not as easily accessible as Smith's later films. But it sets everything up for the films to follow (you'll see lots of Clerks references in Smith's other movies) and is a must-see/must-own for Kevin Smith fans.

Chasing Amy is my favorite right now, but it changes from month to month.

Uhhhh, no. Totally different directors/writers. I compared the two because they were both dialog driven movies.
