Because it has a jail scene in it (and no one was feeling any prison-related flicks), we popped in Clerks 2 for this movie night. Yeah, not a lot of thought put into that decision (still an entertaining flick, though).

Movie Review: Clerks 2 (2006)
Director: Kevin Smith
Cast: Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Trevor Fehrman, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, Rosario Dawson
Plot: Dante (O'Halloran) arrives for another day at the Quick Stop, to find the place on fire and burning to the ground! One year later, Dante and Randal (Anderson) are working at the local fast-food joint (Moobey's), and it's Dante's last day before he moves to Florida with his fiance (Schwalbach) to live happily ever after. Like magic, appearing on the side of the fast food joint is none other than the dancing Jay (Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith), now reformed drug dealers fresh out of rehab.

Everything seems normal in New Jersey, but as this is Dante's last day working with Randal, he decides to throw him a little "going-away" party, Reynolds Style. All the while, Randal is trying to corrupt conservative and religious Elias, the store's Employee-of-the-Month.

And all the while, Dante thinks ahead about his future in Florida with his new fiancee...and the hidden secret that will ultimately change his life for ever!

This movie was hilarious, over-the-top rauchy humor. As I anticipated, a lot of dick and fart jokes. The only real social and pop-culture commentary was about the significance between the original Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings films. All of the actors were right-on, especially Randal, who once again steals the show! Dawson does an amazing job as well, but her acting style is so subtle and natural that she almost overshadows everyone else...also, her character is very similar to Liv Tyler's in Jersey Girl.

The surprise tallent to me was Kevin's wife starring as Dante's fiancee. She did a very good job in this movie, having only had bit-parts in Strike Back and Jersey Girl. She showed a little range in her character, however over-the-top and commical it might have been.

Overall, I was not disappointed with this flick.
