Wildly Overated, Trite, Pretensious
Boy, that Kevin Smith fella sure is clever. Or that's what he'd have us believe, anyway. His forte is painting cruel caricatures of people and having us laugh at these one-dimensional representations of human beings as they do improbably cruel things to each other. I guess you could glean some sort of philosophical staement from this, but don't try. Just know that in every Smith film there is a lot of intellectual jerking off and bad acting. I mean, Jesus, the acting in this film was cringe-inducing. The only redeeming aspect of the flick was Jason Mewes delightful performance as a caustic, foul-mouthed drug peddler.

Can I rate it as "0"?
I stopped watching this movie when Silent Bob and his side kick came on. Too much cursing for me. I'm sorry I wasted my money.

Berserker!
Kevin Smith burst onto the scene with this foul-mouthed independent film. He acted as writer/director on a very small budget and even co-stars as Silent Bob in this, the first of five movies in the "New Jersey Trilogy" (What Smith lacks in math, he makes up for in dialogue). Shot entirely in shaky, grainy black and white, CLERKS is a truly confident film, never trying to be any more than what it is. And any film with OLAF the Russian Metalhead singing "BERSERKER" is okay in my book.

The DVD is a re-issue of the loaded laser disc from many years ago and the transfer cannot be truly judged since the master film quality is so questionable itself. It includes a funny commentary (light on content, heavy on teasing), cut scenes, an alternate ending and a great music video.
