While I never thought Kevin Smith movies were horrible, I always thought the dialog was too scripted (like Star Wars) and pretentious. Clerks was interesting, but overrated in my opinion.
Then I took a chance on this movie and thought it was great. There are the usual elements of a Kevin Smith movie, including taboo subjects that get to the line and then obliterate it. But there is also sentimentality. Smith does an excellent job of not only making the characters more interesting, mature, authentic, and likable in this sequel, but also ending the movie on a positive note.
I saw the trailer to this movie and a brief television review prior to renting it and its predecessor, "Clerks I". I found the term "interspecial erotica" disgusting, yet intriguing. Yeah, the rating is "R" due to alleged "aberrant sexuality" but the movie is so funny that somehow the possibility of crude sexuality didn't scare me away. The movie is hilarious. Now the rest of those clowns in the movie built up an immunity from the first film but I don't see how Rosario Dawson made it through the movie without being admitted to a Level 1 Trauma Center for "Severe Comic Relief, secondary to Uncontrollable Giggling, NOS". I know that I hurt myself just watching it. Was Ben Affleck in the movie? I must have missed him. But that ain't hard to do with a "donkey show" as a co-star and Ben's recent acting credits.
Kevin Smith has a fan in me. I have to close this review with two words" "Donkey Show".....and it is not as graphic as the rating. Be adventurous, use your own judgment, and you will have a great time with this flick!
