Editorial Reviews: Kevin Smith knows his audience, so he's mostly indulging his fans with the abundance of iClerks II/i's DVD extras. On disc 1, three separate commentaries cover the entirety of iClerks II/i's production, beginning with Smith, producer Scott Mosier, and original iClerks/i director of photography David Klein talking about iClerks II/i's technical details, focusing on Klein's approach to the film's desaturated colour palette, the benefits of digital color manipulation, and other aspects of the DP's craft. It's informative material for anyone who's curious about the many decisions that go into any film's overall look and feel. Smith and Mosier return for the cast commentary, which quickly devolves into a casual free-for-all with Jason Mewes, Jeff Anderson, Brian O'Halloran, Trevor Fehrman, and Jennifer Schwalbach candidly riffing on varied topics including reluctance or enthusiasm in reprising their iClerks/i roles, on-set romance (Mewes and Fehrman got some), working with Dawson (who was unavailable when the commentary was recorded), and their general happiness with the film. Smith, Mosier, and Anderson also provide a podcast commentary that's more focused, but mostly redundant if you've listened to the other two. With an introduction by Smith and Mosier, over 30 minutes of deleted scenes are OK but not great, with some nice character interplay between Anderson and O'Halloran, and some mostly-improvisational riffing from stand-up comedians Wanda Sykes and Earthquake in extended takes from their "Mooby's" scene. "A Closer Look at Interspecies Erotica" is a good-natured featurette about Zak "Sexy Stud" Knutson, who gamely made movie history with his leather-clad performance in the infamous "donkey-show" scene. p Mosier and Smith (who obsessively monitors his fans and critics on the Internet) also provide introductions to the features on disc 2, starting with "Back to the Well," a comprehensive 90-minute "making of' documentary that's almost as fun as the movie itself. "How Movies Are Made" is another name for "Blooper Reel," with nearly 30 minutes of flubs, goofs, and crack-ups--enjoyable enough for a quick look, but mostly a waste of time. The 50-minute compilation of "Train Wrecks" (or video production diaries) is more worthwhile, covering such topics as crewmember intros (with Mewes), Smith's early feedback screening (in December 2005) for friends Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, and the eight-minute standing ovation that iClerks II/i received at the 2006 Cannes film festival. All in all, these bonus features function as a video scrapbook for iClerks II/i's cast and crew, revealing a happy shoot that led, to the relief and delight of everyone involved, to a happy ending of critical and box-office success. The uninitiated should be forewarned that most of these features are just as lewd and crude as iClerks II/i itself, but devotees of the View Askewniverse wouldn't have it any other way. i--Jeff Shannon/i

October 10, 2007 KM (England) 18 out of 20 found this review helpful 'Clerks 2' sees Randal Graves and Dante Hicks return in the long-awaited sequel to Kevin Smith's 1995 low-budget, independant film 'Clerks' and although not as clever or as funny as the original it is still one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time. br / br /The film begins when the convenience store from the original and where Randal and Dante have been working for the last decade, is burnt down when Randal accidentally leaves the coffee machine on overnight. This then forces the two to work in a local fast food chain, Mooby's where they are faced with the everyday annoyances such as their colleague and uber-geek Elias, Jay and Silent Bob and various other ignorant customers (including cameos from Ben Affleck and Jason Lee) and general boredom, resulting in a lot of arguements and trouble. Dante however is planning on leaving this minimum wage job to marry his fiance, Emma and start a family, but he falls in love with his boss Becky, which causes no end of problems. br / br /I'm a massive fan of the Kevin Smith films such as the original Clerks (and the animated series), Mallrats, Dogma and Jay Silent Bob Strike Back (although I didn't much like Chasing Amy) and 'Clerks 2' is a fine addition to the collection and is probably the best and funniest since the original. With so many memorable and hilarious scenes such as the "best trilogy" scene and the Jackson 5/A-B-C dance scene, as well as spoofs from films like Silence of the Lambs, this film is simply unmissable and as offensive and brilliant as ever. I can't recommend this film highly enough! What on earth are some people complaining about? January 4, 2007 Dr. George L. Sik (Epsom, Surrey) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful Jonathan Ross couldn't stand this film. I can think of no higher recommendation than that. br / br /Yes, it's in colour. Yes, it's had a bit more money spent on it. Yes, they're all a little older. Grow up! br / br /Still laugh-out-loud funny, though. Randal's recreation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy on the floor of Mooby's hamburger bar (and he's NOT a fan) is worth the price of this DVD on its own! Great sequel June 30, 2007 Paul Kirby (Ascot, UK) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful This is a great sequel to Clerks. br / br /The same characters (obviously) but a completely different style of film. Of course, this upsets some fans of the original but thankfully most can see what Kevin Smith wanted to achieve with this sequel - very little of the same from the original but keeping the same crude, witty humour throughout. br / br /If you are easily offended I'd stay clear of this film but if you "get it" then this film will be perfect for you. br / br /That being said, the overall story isn't a particular strong one but the very witty dialogue makes this a great film. br / br /Well worth watching if you are a Kevin Smith film. br / br / MY NUMBER 1 FILM OF 2006 February 9, 2007 R. J. Potter (Chesterfield , England) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful Being a big fan of the first Clerks film it has to be said that this was the film I was looking forward to seeing last year it didn't disappoint. br / br /Dante Randall are back although they are in a different shop ( Moobys fast food restaurant ) they still seem to get up to the same old tricks. With the new improved Jay Silent Bob, Elias the Lord of the Rings Geek Becky ( brilliantly played by Rosario Dawson ) plus cameos from some famous faces of the View Askew family it makes ONE HELL OF A FUNNY MOVIE. br / br /Plus the DVD has a fantasic 90 min Documentary on the making of the film plus loads of other extras that we have come to expect from the Kevin Smith DVDs. br / br /Highly recommended. Click the button April 17, 2007 Rachel S. Taylor 3 out of 4 found this review helpful If you are sitting there wondering whether to get this or some other DVD, Stop, click the button. br /I cannot take away the interminable wait until the postman brings you this excellent disc, but, once you have watched it, I can promise that you will laugh at inappropriate moments over the next two weeks, and embarrass yourself at work trying to recount some of the scenes. br / br / Showing reviews 1-5 of 41 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...9 Next »
