Movie Review

I have finally completed Kevin Smith's strand of movies, in reverse order. Dogma was so-so, Chasing Amy and Mallrats were hilarious, and I had high hopes going into Clerks, since I had heard such great things about it. Unfortunately, Clerks is Smith's lowest quality movie, not because it is filmed in black and white with low key actors, but because the script just isn't up to par with his other films.

Wow MovieSource- are you ever dense about this film. This is one of the most superbly crafted films ever. It is brilliant. Every line, every scene, scenario, is thoughtfully intentional, the hilarious ironies apparent at every turn. (for example, when Dante's ex returns from the bathroom after having sex with the guy who is dead and she thinks it's Dante (flashback to the scene where he's telling Randal about how she cheated on him when they were dating, and she thought he was someone else)) You just never watched it closely enough to get it!!!
