As a lifelong Kevin Smith fan (we’re talking framed autographs, a picture together, the works), I’d have to agree. Clerks 2 is the rare sequel that lives up to the fierce innovation of the original in almost every possible way. And even if the prolific director were to make 37 sequels (in a row?), this second movie would still be the best in the franchise.
That’s because this sequel finds the blend between introspection and comedy that the first film was, if we’re being honest, sorely lacking. All the best parts of that first movie are the idiot customer vignettes that instantly resonated with anyone who has ever been a clerk.
However, the drama of Dante juggling two women feels largely tacked on…an attempt to make everything feel like a cohesive whole rather than the ultimate anthology of customer service horror stories.
