Clerks III (2022)
In today's review, I find that the next great American film, might be inside you, If you can look back, and capture the zeitgeist. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2022 finale, Clerks III #BrianO'Halloran #JeffAnderson #TrevorFehrman #AustinZajur
Life won’t stop for you is the unfortunate realisation that most of us eventually wrap our heads around. Sure, when you’re young, the days seem endless, but you’ll have enough time to get your life together tomorrow. Then by the time it hits you… the seconds have already been spent. In pushing his characters into the next chapters of their lives, Kevin Smith gave audiences a look back while…

Goddamn it.
I never thought it would hit me that hard. A really good Clerks movie. But I never imagined the direction of story.
Very Comical, clever, but fuck. So somber and sad too.
I didn't know that going into it. I thought there was going to be meaningfulness mixed in with the funny, but it really hit my gut with grief.
I mean I've been in a consistent flow of grief and turmoil and existential threat for 7 years. But man, with some things hitting certain notes, it felt pretty sad.
Damn good movie. But I need a Xanax now.

Clerks II (2006, dir. Kevin Smith) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
Clerks II was a serviceable successor to the original. Going directly from the original film, which was made for a little over $27.5K, directly into this one gave me a bit of tonal and stylistic whiplash. Maybe that would be different if I had watched the 4 View Askewniverse films between the two, but that wasn't the case, so it was jarring. Simply put, this one isn't anywhere near as good as the original; the acting is ok at best (save for Rosario Dawson, who really brings it), there's still some of that wild homophobia as well as a scene containing an intensely uncomfortable amount of racial slurs that then turns into a running gag for the rest of the film, and that sense of purpose that the original film had is scarcely found here. Randall, who was far and away my absolute favorite character in the original, feels different. The young guy who made the most of his situation and thought the world was stupid and laughed at it seems bitter and and angry at the world around him here. Don't get it twisted, a lot of the jokes Randall makes in the film still land effectively, and maybe that's part of the point of the film, but it just made me sad.
What worked, and it worked really well, was Jay & Silent Bob. These 2 characters are significantly more hilarious than in the original Clerks. Jason Mewes had about 12 years under his belt playing this character by the time Clerks II was made, so he'd more than gotten it down by that point. Also, the friendship between Dante and Randall still works very well. Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson still had it here and they effortlessly fall back into their respective rolls to boost the film up. Lastly, there's a specific sentimentality that Kevin Smith likes to inject into his films, and man is it infectious. I won't say too much about it here, because I'm also going to mention it more in depth in my review for Clerks III and it is way more pertinent to that movie than this one, but just know that sentimentality and a genuine love that you can tell Kevin Smith feels for Dante and Randall helped save this movie for me.
Score: 6/10
Currently available to rent or purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and on DVD & Blu-ray through Lionsgate Films.
Also, I feel like I ragged on the film a lot in this review and just wanted to say that I didn't dislike it that much. It's still genuinely funny and has way more heart than a movie like this should ever have.

#Review: Clerks III
Out this Friday is Kevin Smith's latest and possibly final entry in the franchise that made him, here is Graham's review of Clerks III #ClerksIII
Kevin Smith conjures a lot of feelings. Some think him a talented and charming podcaster that is a natural entertainer. Others think him something of a one-hit-wonder that just never quit. I myself see him as an imperfect storyteller with a heart of gold. This is ironic when you learn the inspiration for this latest film, Clerks III. Clerks III is a film that once again follows the characters…

The Mosley Review: Clerks 3
Tumblr media
There's something sort of romantic about a director returning to the franchise that brought forth their career. Returning to their roots and never forgetting who they were in the process. Making a sequel almost 10 years later to an original isn't unheard of, but making a sequel almost 30 years later is something that has started to become more of a common ground. When its done with the same love and reverence it is magical, but when it is done just to get the band back together, it feels so cheap and soulless. This film is very far from the latter and I felt the same amount of joy and fun I had watching the original the film. It may have taken a long time to get to this hilariously meta story in theaters, but the wait was definitely worth it. I loved that the film mirrored the life of the director, but also played with the themes of mortality, making amends with one's past and valuing the time you have with the people you love. Sure this film features the alot of stoner humor, but its well balanced.
Tumblr media
Brian O'Halloran was fantastic and hasn't skipped a beat as Dante. The evolution of the character over the years has been strong and this was the most defining chapter of the characters' arc. He was even more surprised by the antics of his regulars and always delivering great moments of emotional weight. Jeff Anderson was once again amazing as Randal and I liked that even in his later age, he still has that quick wit. He takes his character to another level as the story mostly focuses on his new life choice after facing a life altering experience. He finally has a direction in life and there is a moment where he truly sees the damage he has caused to others. The chemistry between Brian and Jeff has never been stronger and more contentious. Rosario Dawson returns as Becky and she was even more lovable and charming this time around. The chemistry between her and Dante was really the emotional bond and introspective view the film featured through them. Trevor Fehrman was great and kooky as Elias as he goes through a wardrobe of emotions and looks that keep you guessing on what he's gonna do next. Amy Sedaris as Doctor Ladenheim was great and I loved her comedic timing as she mixes so many pop culture references. Justin Long steals the screen in such a small time as the Orderly. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith of course return as the iconic dynamic stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob. They were on point and hilarious in the right scenes and at the right time. I never get tired of seeing those 2.  
Tumblr media
The score by James L. Venable, where it was used, was beautiful and drives the emotional moments home. The soundtrack in the film was fun and had some great songs that I've already found myself humming. The only problems I had were somewhat in the middle where some of the comedy didn't land and some moments could've held for a few more seconds. Overall, this was a fun and heartfelt conclusion to a trilogy 30 years in the making and I'm glad that writer and director Kevin Smith got to see it through to the emotional end it deserved. Let me know what you thought of the film or my review in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

Clerks III (2022, dir. Kevin Smith) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
Clerks III (dir. Kevin Smith) ends the saga of Dante and Randall in about the most Kevin-Smithiest way possible. After having a heart attack, Randall decides that he's never done anything meaningful with his life and wants to change that by making a movie about his life, which ends up being exactly what it sounds like: they set out to make Clerks. Now, it's not called Clerks in-universe, but you get the idea. The film is packed full of in-jokes and meta-humor and that particular Kevin-Smith brand of camp that works at times and really doesn't work at others. I'll break my feelings about the film down into 3 parts that just happen to coincide with the acts of the film.
Act 1 of the film, leading up to the filming of the movie-within-the-movie and maybe a few scenes after that, is insanely funny. Jay & Silent Bob just absolutely run away with every scene they're in. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith have had 28 years to really perfect these characters, and perfect them they have. Their comedic chemistry is electric, their comedic timing is uncannily perfect, and their comedic presence in the film is absolute. Cameos from the likes of Amy Sedaris, Ben Affleck, Fred Armisen, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze, Jr. and more work well and the meta-humor really gives fans of the franchise everything they could ever ask for out of a film like this. People can say what they want about Kevin Smith's narrative writing or even certain aspects of his comedic writing, but the guy knows how to be funny. Even his worst movies (remember that I have unfortunately seen Yoga Hosers) have good comedic moments and Clerks III is no exception.
Act 2, the middle of the film, is, well, middling (I'll talk about my qualms with the film as a whole here as well). I felt like the middle third of the film dragged significantly compared to both the beginning and the end (which we'll get into in a minute). The meta scenes are still there, and the nostalgic punch they pack doesn't lose its potency, but I feel like the film didn't need a lot of the fluff that it had. I didn't necessarily need a reference to every single bit from the first film (although I did appreciate the love given to Clerks II, despite that not being as well accepted by the populace). I could have used a couple more scenes that built up the story of this film and the 15 year gap that exists in-universe between this and Clerks II. I guess my point with this particular tangent is that this film's runtime is 1 hour and 55 minutes and I feel like it could have been an even 90-95 minutes and been better for it. Another thing that kind of bugged me, and I get why they did it this way, it's just a little frustrating, is that in one scene Dante and Randall are reminiscing about their time as clerks at the Quick Stop, and literally everything they mention is something that happened in the original film. Again, I get why they did it that way, but the entirety of the first Clerks film takes place over the course of one day. If Randall is making a film about his life, wouldn't it need to include more than just the events of one day in 1994 when a litany of strange things happened? Also, speaking of Dante and Randall, this movie really required Brian O'Halloran and Jason Anderson to push the limits of their acting abilities, and as much as I love him and the character of Dante, I personally don't think O'Halloran was able to rise to this particular occasion. I also wasn't a huge fan of the Elias character in this film. I feel like his weird awkward acting in Clerks II worked for that film's overall feel, but not really for this one. With that, let's move on to the final act.
Act 3, which I'll be narratively vague about so as to avoid spoilers, is the saving grace of the film. The end of this movie hits you hard with that Kevin Smith sentimentality that I mentioned in my Clerks II review, and goddammit it works on me. A lot of the emotional weight of the last act of the film gets placed on Jason Anderson's shoulders, and where I feel like Brian O'Halloran's performance was lackluster, I feel like Anderson's performance soars. His monologue in one of the film's final scenes is genuinely very emotional, and encapsulates exactly what I love about Kevin Smith's movies (at least the one's I've watched so far). This is a man who genuinely, whole-heartedly, and undyingly loves what he does, loves his body of work, and loves the characters that exist within that work. Seeing Marilyn Ghigliotti back as Veronica, seeing all of the bit players from that original film come back to reprise their roles for the "filmed" bits of Randall's movie, watching the film open on a scene of the duo playing hockey on the roof (with another great cameo from the Comic Book Men crew) while the entirety of "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance blasted out of the theater speakers over the scene, it all just makes you feel so warm inside. Kevin Smith pours his entire being into these movies and you can tell; it pours out of every frame and, as I mentioned in my review of the second film, it is fucking infectious. Did I cry at the end of the film? Maybe a little. I for sure got choked up, and I can tell that, had I been a lifelong fan of the franchise as I could tell everyone else in the theater with me was, I would have been on the floor sobbing by the time the credits started to roll. So, is the acting good? Largely no, save for a couple of the big players. Do the jokes work? About half of the time, sure. The movie largely is just ok by all accounts, but dammit, I just can't dislike it. I can't bring myself to. I can't even bring myself to down to ok. With all of its many faults, I still unabashedly like Clerks III. Kevin Smith has my support to the end of the line.
Score: 7/10
Currently available to rent or purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K through Lionsgate Films.
