Maybe they should call this Clerks Coda: The Lifes & Deaths of Dante & Randal.
I just wasn't that into much of its premise of reliving their lives, when all they do is callback to that day from 1994 Clerks. They should've run with that premise instead - that day's retrospect, instead of that day encompassing their entire adult lives since.
Anyways, it had fair highs once the filming premise did get going.

I watched it last month and I've already forgotten most of it. It wasn't a bad movie, it was just so bland. I think it only got one or two genuine laughs out of me (most notably when Jay and Silent Bob kept dealing outside their own shop despite it being a legal business) and I just felt like it really didn't add anything. 5/10

He'd burst on scene with a home release smash hit... an up & coming slacker auteur... & all these years later, it's just more Dante & Randal. It's sad in a way that life handing him borrowed entightened time... and we get another movie passion project, reliving now a third time, jokes & gags from 1994. Really?? When Veronica 'cameoed' in C3, it was a deep cut. Here was a character who wasn't a caricature, rather a 1994 created & acted character who was showing how the real world had dealt her hand towards 2022. Not poopy jokes by man-teens at a VHS rental store. I dunno... Dante's death was actually cut from 1994. He was originally shot dead by a customer end-scene, which was axed at the last minute, so Kevin's decision for Dante's death is artistically okay. Clerks III should've been maybe about Randal having to start his own meta digital business with Elias. Or have Randal take back the Netflix idea of hard copy borrowing - put VHS tapes in the mail for nostalgic viewers around the world lols. |
