Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Tony Leave the B&W films for the art house mob, it's not clever or artistic it's just trying to be. Nosferatu, The Birds, Psycho, yes it worked because that was all they had to work with. Might be good story, but I'm not wasting my time, or the money spent on HD colour TV to watch anything less than classic if B&W.

Scott LeBrun Writer / director / co-editor / supporting player Kevin Smith made a Hell of a breakthrough film with this fresh and funny comedy, which spans one whole day and night. Brian O'Halloran stars as Dante, a convenience store clerk who reluctantly reports to work on his day off. Discontent with his lot in life, he's frequently visited throughout the day by his friend Randal (Jeff Anderson). Randal is supposed to be working as a clerk at the video rental shop next door, but he can hardly be bothered to show up there. The movie shows what happens as Dante deals with the melodrama in his life, and deals with the assorted troublesome customers that come into his store.The main draw in this effectively paced movie is Smiths' often hilarious dialogue. Now, the dialogue ensures that the easily offended, or those people bothered by excess profanity, will be annoyed, but there are still some DAMN funny lines in this. Loosely based on "The Divine Comedy" (with nine breaks in the movie to represent the nine rings of Hell), it's all breathlessly performed by Smiths' capable cast of newcomers. O'Halloran is very engaging as a rather uptight guy who needs to learn to take some responsibility for his lot in life. Anderson is hilarious as his more carefree buddy. Sexy ladies Marilyn Ghigliotti and Lisa Spoonauer have plenty of appeal as the women in Dantes' life: Spoonauer is Caitlin, the ex- girlfriend whom he continues to pine over, and Ghigliotti is Veronica, the patient current girlfriend who encourages him to better himself, and does nice things for him, but whose sexual history becomes a sticking point for him. Jason Mewes and director Smith himself debut their slacker characters Jay and Silent Bob, who became fixtures in Smiths' filmography. Some of the various eccentric convenience store customers are amusing with their particular quirks. Shooting in black & white may have been a budgetary choice, but it gives "Clerks" a definite low budget charm.It's all made even more enjoyable with the eclectic rock soundtrack, including one of this viewers' favorite bands, Alice in Chains. That "Berserker" song is pretty damn priceless. And it's wrapped up in a rather tidy but satisfying fashion.Eight out of 10.

DerekR123 I decided to check out Clerks one day and I was not disappointed this movie is simply amazing everything about it is perfect. The characters are funny and memorable and each person is unique in their own way I love the indie style of the film because the budget was $27,575 and they had to use black and white cameras but they did such a good job on using their limited resources and proves that you don't need millions of dollars to create a film, also some scenes can maybe relate to people who have or had worked at a movie or convenience store overall its hands down one of the best films I've ever seen it may be in black and white but it will still make you laugh.

Claudio Carvalho On his day off, the clerk of a convenience store Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran) is summoned by his boss to be the substitute for his coworker that is ill. He is worried since he has a hockey game. Along the day, his friend Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson) that works in a video store on the next door stays most of the time with Dante. He is visited by his girlfriend Veronica (Marilyn Ghigliotti) that discloses intimacy to him; he learns that his former girlfriend Caitlin Bree (Lisa Spoonauer); he gives a break and plays the hockey game with Randal; he goes with Randal to a wake. Meanwhile the drug dealers Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) sells drugs on the sidewalk.In 1994, the low-budget "Clerks" is a milestone to the career of Kevin Smith. Divided in nineteen chapters in black-and white, using a few locations and with unknown cast, the witty "Clerks" is a very funny comedy even twenty-two years after its release. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "O Balconista" (The Clerk")
