Clerks (10th Anniversary Edition)
Just because they serve you doesn't mean they Like you.If you're in the market for wildly funny entertainment, CLERKS delivers with wholesale hilarity! It's one wacky day in the life of a pair of overworked counter jockeys whose razor-sharp wit and on-the-job antics give a whole new meaning to customer service! Even while bracing a nonstop parade of unpredictable shoppers, the clerks manage to play hockey on the roof, visit a funeral home, and straighten out their offbeat love lives! The boss is nowhere in sight, so you can bet anything can -- and will -- happen when these guys are left to run the store.

Dante is a 22-year-old employee of Quick Mart who gets called in to do another shift on his day off. Through short vignettes, we explore a day in the life of a Quick Mart employee. We explore Date's love life, from his current girlfriend Veronica to his long-pined-for ex girlfriend Bree that he wants instead, and through it all, the daily observations on humanity shared by Dante and his criminally irresponsible friend Randal who works at the video store next door. And yes, Kevin Smith too, as part of the Jay and Silent Bob duo, made famous only by the fact that they're in so many of Kevin Smith's movies.
When I watched 'Clerks' for the second time, it was with a heavy dollop of pre-conceived notions: it's a dirt-cheap movie with bad acting; it's poorly written compared to the classics I've been watching for the last few years. The second time around it all seemed so forced, so obviously written and acted by people all too completely aware of we the audience. People don't talk like this unless they're opening a can of prepared dialogue for a job interview, or when, say, reading what's written in a script. And the characters? The worst are by far Jay and Silent Bob. Why these people are endearing is beyond me.
But I couldn't help laughing, and laughing often. I tried to judge the subtext behind this movie, and the history that tainted it since then. I tried to hate 'Clerks' as the snob I've become in my adventures through cinema, and I couldn't. It's funny. It's forced and no that doesn't add to the film but it doesn't take much away either. It's fun. it's Indie. It's underground, but it's accessible, and it's worth seeing because there's no one as awesome as Randal the wise video store clerk, who, in front of a child, orders a string of porno titles ever raunchier than the last.You know the movie, now know the story - TaBobo
Almost anytime a movie is released in a two disc special edition you are guaranteed some good ‘making of material’. In the case of Clerks X, we are treated to a third disc that goes beyond what even a typical two disc edition contains. Most importantly here is the 2+ hour documentary that goes well beyond the making of the movie, all the way through to the completion and distribution of this debut from Scott Mosier and Kevin Smith.
This documentary demystifies the ‘fairy tale’ story that most people claim of Clerks and digs into the root of true independent, no budget filmmaking.See where it begins... - Sunny_J
Ten years after his breakout hit CLERKS, Kevin Smith is still working late nights at the Quickstop. CLERKS X celebrates the convenience store that started it all (Mecca of all things Askew) with 3 discs loaded with commentaries for the theatrical release and the Sundance cut, a Q & A with the cast and the great “snowball effect” documentary. The animated lost scene is a must see, as is Randal querying Dante to the depths he would go for Mans ultimate dream…”The Flying Car”. A true comedy classic, CLERKS X is an essential addition to your collection, to be enjoyed for decades to come. Clerks 2 in 2006!
