I suppose that a seminal or groundbreaking movie should hold up to time. Clerks was one of the first slacker films and unfortunately, the slacker film is so much a part of filmdom these days that there was nothing really interesting about watching Clerks now. After seeing the first 2/3, I got bored, feeling like I had seen this all before. The plot puts a couple of minimum wage grocery/video store clerks on center stage and tries to amplify the drama of their life by amplifying every minutiae. Well done, but not watchable 15 years later.
2 stars (out of 5)
