Indie flick that made us all want to direct
Has it really been 12 years since the release of Clerks? At the peak of the grunge years, this seemingly strange film emerged as one of the greatest indie flicks of all time. The concept was so simple, and yet it made for some of the most hilarious material ever caught on film. This was before the so called Seinfeld principal about "doing nothing", as you realized you didn't really know someone or something until you saw them "doing nothing". We all relate to the characters whether we are the angry customer, the vain girlfriends, the losers Jay and Silent Bob outside, or the innocent Dante.

Dante, the somewhat brave yet somewhat pathetic clerk at the Quick Stop Groceries, is called into work on a day he wasn't supposed to be there. Here he has to deal with the oddies and unreasonable demands of customers, his wiseass sidekick Randal from the video store, and Jay and Silent Bob's loitering. He tries and tries to be the voice of reason, but keeps being shot down by one after another after another obsticle.

The raunchy humor (Jay and Silent Bob's banter, Randal's listing of porn tapes, and the dead customer in the bathroom, just to name a few) is what makes it edgy. But the point of this film is perhaps Dante's repeated saying "I'm not supposed to be here today". Is that what it's all about? Maybe it's about thumbing your nose at the stupid people, and having jobs where I am exposed to the general public all day, everyday, I can relate. It's a working man's anthem.

Fun, Funny, Foul Mouthed and Forever A Classic!
No matter how many times I watch Clerks, it is just as funny and good as it was the first time. The movie is fun and foul-mouthed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It shows that life isn't always an easy street, but it is full of struggle. No one has learned this in one day more than Dante Hicks, a store clerk who isn't even supposed to work today, and who doesn't let his buddy Randal or the audience forget it.

The acting in this brilliant film is fantastic, everyone takes to their role and are very believable people. Being 22 years old, the story sadly relates to my life in more ways than one. Jay and Silent Bob were spawned from this flick, they are quite possibly the greatest duo to grace the silver screen, call it fanboyism but I don't care. This movie just speaks to everyone and it's something everyone can relate to, that's why this film will be around forever and will gain new fans every day. Bravo Kevin, this was worth temporarily losing your comic book collection because this film rocks
