This is a day Dante will never forget. His day rudely begins at 6am, when he discovers that he has to work on his day off: a hilarious day in which he has to survive his girlfriend's graphic sexual confessions, a mad hockey team and a constant stream of offensive customers. The director Kevin Smith, an ex-employee of the Quick Stop convenience store, filmed 'Clerks' in the store after hours. A purveyor of now classic razor sharp dialogue, Smith was recently given the Independent Spirit Award at the 2005 Empire Magazine Awards.

Clerks is a cult movie, and its easy to see why it became so. The style and content must have been a refreshing blast when it first appeared. Watching it for the first time today, it comes across as funny and touching. This is greatly helped by a fantastic performance by actor Brian O'Halloran in the lead role. There are some minus points - this film introduced the annoying Jay and Silent Bob characters - but overall this is worth seeing.

Average, very, very average...

Clerks is way, way over-rated. Yes it's funny in parts and yes it is watchable but certainly not one to get over excited about. I think some of the previous reviewers might have lost the run of themselves with this one!!! Middle of the road, edging towards a 6 but no more!!!

Just OK

At this stage (2011) a very dated-looking late-80's/early-nineties grunge/slacker low key film. Has the odd laugh all the same. Everyone looks awful
