This one's cruder and funnier than the original, and it has the added bonus of the always-delectable Rosario Dawson. If you're not easily offended, then it's great fun -- and it grows on you with each viewing.
But the real reason this movie gets 4 stars? The scene in the jail cell. It's the best thing Kevin Smith has ever written, a scene that completely strips away all of Randall's jerkfacedness while remaining completely true to the character. Kudos to Jeff Anderson for nailing it.
And there's a good chance Clerks II is his best film. (or tied with Zack and Miri, anyway)

Politically incorrect, racist, homophobic, completely hilarious and surprisingly sweet.

"Is that a fucking Bible?"
"Hey, hey, the HOLY fucking Bible, son!"I feel that no matter what Kevin Smith does, it pretty much turns to gold. Clerks II is one of these, its a movie which should be no where as good as it is.
The movie is so good, it has two of my favorite movie scenes ever in this. The first one is the Lord of the Rings scene between Randall, Elias and the LOTR geek. I still laugh so hard at that.
Elias: Chicks dig Lord of the Rings, Randal.
Randal Graves: Shyeah, the kind of chicks into swords and elves and shit, and I wouldn't fuck them with the Torch of Gondor.The second scene…

I actually really enjoyed this, like maybe more than the first Clerks. Like, it's cool that it's fine not to move on, to just stay where you want. That's refreshing in a film, to see that you don't have to better yourself or strive for something better, everything is fine the way it is. I like that a lot.
Jay and Silent Bob were AMAZING in this, how does Jason Mews NEVER AGE?!

Part of me likes this better than Clerks, part of me thinks it's worse.
Whatever it is, it's really fucking funny.
Randal is still my favourite character in anything. I would watch a movie which is nothing but Randal at the Quick Stop.

A lot funnier than I remember it being. The ending is really cheesy and the Dante/Becky plot grows tedious, but the discussions about 'ass-to-mouth' and LOTR provide lots of laughs. Only a touch worse than the first film.

I respect its authenticity but Clerks II doesn't cut it for a comedy. It tries to be funny, yet gets bogged down in its philosophical script.

Not as good as the first, but somewhat memorable. Would you fuck me?

good

Not as laugh-out-loud hilarious, now that I'm old enough to understand all of the truly serious themes in it. That being said, it's probably a better movie because of it.

I liked this more than the original Clerks.

You all know that I love Kevin Smith and the majority of his movies. I've written a full review on Clerks earlier in the year and I'm more than excited that Kevin Smith has started up on the Clerks III script in recent weeks. But this is about Clerks II, Smith's follow up to his career making debut. A lot of people hail it as better than the first, with others thinking it's a lackluster squeal to his best film. I personally think it's one of the best follow-ups of all time. The inner 16 year old in me loves the raunchiness, while the 22 year old in me loves the emotion and storytelling. Randall, Dante and Jay and Silent…

This is what we call a perfect sequel and beautiful ending - just beautiful.
This movie is definitely a keeper. -

This was the last Kevin Smith movie for me to watch and parts were good and other parts felt like a rehash. It was probably my least favorite Kevin Smith movie. But it did have Rosario Dawson, she is a fox.
