Title: What happened, Kevin?
Product review: Clerks II is a failure. The film seems like Clerks mixed with The Notebook. Kevin Smith has lost something in his film-making talent. It seems the more successful he becomes, the worse his movies become.Most of Clerks II is centered around Dante preparing to move to Florida with his new fiancee. So we have to sit through 90 minutes of his strangely effeminate relationship with his boss, Becky, and his clearly homosexual feelings towards Randall. At some points Smith tires to recreate the nostalgia of the original Clerks with long winded, but brilliant, conversations about nerd stuff like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, but it fails. Smith even brings in a long line of cameos to try to spruce up the movie...but that again fails. The bottom line is that this movie is mostly boring. Actually its a train wreck. Only Jay and Silent Bob keep the movie entertaining with the help of a few Clerks 1 type moments by Randall. I miss the Kevin Smith I loved in 1994....
