Clerks

"I love Kevin Smith. Seriously I love him. I saw this back in the day and fell in love with Silent Bob. This is such a GenX movie. Thankfully I'm very GenX. Kevin's birthday is the day after mine. So every year I always remember his birthday. "

"Kevin Smith's first effort at movie making on less than a shoestring budget. Although part 2 is pretty funny, this is my favorite of his. Proof that he is the master of dialogue driven comedy. 9.5/10"

"A unique classic. Clever and fun! "

"First movie I ever saw that would even moderately qualify as ‘indie.’ Obviously a classic, put Kevin Smith on the map, and kicked in the door for so many that followed. He is a legend."

"It's like Seinfeld the movie. A movie about two cashiers (one who wasn't supposed to come that day) and their weird and normal day full of relationship problems, funerals, having sex with a dead man in a bathroom, and hockey. Kevin Smith's best movie, and I believe it's his first! It's not for everyone, it's irreverent, vulgar, and completely dumb, but if you like that stuff, total recommendation for you!"

"Just a fun time, not for everyone though!"

"Two words, Kevin Smith. Nuff said."

"Elephant in the room, Clerks is crass. But the snappy, often hilarious dialogue and beats make it funny and fun to watch. The acting is realistic and understated, even when the characters are saying totally unbelievable things. However, the generally snappy dialogue makes the film feels like it drags at the times when it's making its point about life and living. Additionally, the cinematography and blocking aren't always great."

"Kevin Smith’s arrival as a storyteller was launched with this story of a man called into work on his day off and the adventures of him, his friend from the adjacent video store, the looney customers, and a pair of Marajuana enthusiasts. Leading to a Universe of Classic Movies."

"Tough movie to talk about as there are parts of it that I can tell you right now haven't aged particularly well. But I loved it in my late teens/early 20s and there is something to be said about this movies place in independent film cannon to popularize indie films and also how adequately it exemplifies young men at that age range at that point in time with its characters and dialogue. Something that Kevin Smith would only get further and further from with its sequels (his fame and wealth only pushing him further from what could be seen as a relatable perspective mixed with his inability to examine any perspective that isnt his own)"
