I have no choice but to download a cam recording of Clerks 2 via BitTorrent. There's no freaking way that any of his movie will hit the local theatres. So, I'm not really denying him of any revenue anyways.
But he shouldn't be worried. The low budget flick easily recovered production and marketing cost in its opening weekend's take of 11 million dollars.
Clerks began Kevin's film making career more than 10yrs ago, and this time, he returned to his original characters: Dante Hicks and Randal Graves, the infamous clerks.
Randal has burnt down the beloved QuickStop. The two now works at a burger joint, finding new ways to torment customers, and fans of Lord of the Rings.
"Those f*cking hobbit movies were boring as hell. All it was was a bunch of people walking. Three movies of people walking to a f*cking volcano ...The f*cking trees walked in those movies."
Dante finally finds love, and is about to move to Florida with his fiance. Randal arranges a 'stag' party for Dante's last day, with live interspecies erotica.
There are plenty of interesting actors in the flick. Kevin is in as Silent Bob. Jason Mewes finally kicked his drug habit, and is back as Jay (we get to see some frontal nudity). Kevin's wife is in (she flashed the camera). Ben Affleck (Shannon in Mallrats, Holden in Chasing Amy, Bartleby in Dogma). Jason Lee (Brodie in Mallrats, Banky in Chasing Amy). Rosario Dawson (who is Gail in Sin City).
Not as funny as the original Clerks. But it's fun to see the crew back together.
