Clerks (DVD, 1999)

From Miramax, Clerks is one of those Kevin Smith movies that has developed a massive cult following… and for great reason. This movie is hilariously sarcastic and dark look at the mundane life of two, obviously, clerks. Take the tag line for instance: “Just because they serve you.. doesn’t mean they like you.”

Rolling Stone called it “Screamingly Funny!”
New York Newsday called it “The Funniest Movie of the Year!”

If you’re in the market for what the Detroit News called “a lively comic adventure,” Clerks dleviers with wholesale hilarity. Its one wild day in the life of a pair of overworked counter jockeys whose razor-sharp wit and on-the-job antics give a whole new meaning to customer service. Even while braving a nonstop parade of unpredictable shoppers, the clerks manage to play hockey on the roof, visit a funeral home, and straighten out their offbeat love lifes. The boss is nowhere in sight, so you can bet anything can – and will – happen when these guys are left to run the store.

Though the acting isn’t grade A, the writing is. The humor and filming are off-beat enough that Clerks is very different… and, at the end of the day, that’s a great thing.

Chronicling a day in the life of Quick Stop clerk Dante Hicks, CLERKS captures the hilarity of the humdrum even as it raises slackerdom to existential proportions. From behind his counter, Dante desperately tries to exert some power over the crazy customers, his own love life, and his incorrigible friend and fellow clerk Randal--the type who sees nothing wrong in closing the video shop he works in to go rent movies from a better store.

Love the Movie!!! Jay and Silet Bob, what a team. Want the whole collection. One of the first of this great team!

This is a great movie - if you like Kevin Smith and that type of humor. Personally, I LOVE Kevin and can't get enough of his movies. This one is special because it was made with an amazingly low budget and the actors are all friends of Kevin's. It's in black and white and introduces the characters of Jay and Silent Bob. This is the one that shot Kevin to fame and has become quite the cult classic. Try it....you won't be disappointed.

I love this movie and I am a huge Kevin Smith fan and this is a must for any fan! Please go see this film if you haven't it is funny!

This movie is very funny and the acting is great too. The way the actors are able to interact so quickly makes it seem more like reality than fiction.

explained by some as a cult classic, but anyone will enjoy. easily relate able and amazingly funny for more mature audiences

this movie is funny and at the same time if ur not paying attion just seems dumb but if you really listen so notice how smart it really is...kevin smiths 1st movie and its really one of his best

clerks is the first of many great hits featuring jay and silent bob. a must have if your a fan of kevin smiths work!

This movie is a riot and quite probably the best Kevin Smith movie ever made. If you like comedy, you'll love the movie "Clerks". Like it says on the case,"just because they serve you...doesn't mean they like you".

someone told me this was a good comedy. It is not. Beware, it is in black and white. That, I find anoying. I don't mind some cussing in funny movies but this one has too much and its not funny.

i like the movie it came like it was explained no problem i bought it cause i wanted it pretty simple and easy

It is a great movie for movie lovers. It tells the story of what people really think and feel versus what we really say and thing..

This is one of the best movies UI've ever seen. The dualogue is natural and the characters are funny. A must own DVD.

one of those movies that take a while to sink in. You will enjoy the humor, a few points in lighting , style ect nothing to really make me want to toss it. overall a fine indie movie. I will be getting clerks 2

A must see, must have for anyone who's ever worked a minimum wage job dealing with customers. Written in the usual Kevin Smith, witty, intellectual dialog - it's hilarious & irreverant.

Not as funny as Clerks II, But still worth seeing. Wish it would have been in Color. I would recommend this to anybody that has seen Dogma or Mallrats.

I bought it for my man who loves comedys, he has all the others so I wanted to complete his collection.

This is one of those "love it" or "hate it" movies. If crude humor offends you, then this movie is not for your. But if not, you may find this movie to be very funny. "Clerks" is proof that you don't need to spend a lot of money to make a good film. Just like in "Clerks II", The interesting and unusual subject matter of the dialog between the characters is what makes this movie so great in my opinion. I don't buy a lot of movies, but I definitely found a place for this one on my DVD rack.

thank you very much right on time...My friend is really gonna love this his wife says he looks all the time for this...

I say this movie is one of my all time favorites and not because it was filmed in my home town of Middletown NJ. The characters are great the setting is great and the story is hilarious! If you like Kevin Smith and have not seen this movie yet (Not Sure How That Can Happen) Waste not a minute more go out and buy this movie sit back and prepare to laugh your head off!
