Last time i watched CLERKS 1 and 2 was many years ago. I remember that i've loved them both, and CLERKS 1 was slightly better. I've watched them again last night. Whereas my rating for CLERKS 1 didn't change (8,8/10, masterpiece), my rating for CLERKS 2 did. This is the best CLERKS movie (including the third part). I love it with all my heart.

Kevin Smith himself said that this is his favorite movie of him (In CLERK documentary, 2021). I get him. Everything is as it should here. Everything works. Kevin Smith is in the zone. Perfect doses for comedy and drama. Characters growing up, facing reality, without being bleak nor sad of course, this is a comedy after all. A movie for all those who try to find their way in life. A movie about true friendship, about true love. You cannot not love these characters, especially if life is a struggle for you. Of course it's juvenile and vulgar at times, this is not a preachy movie. This doesn't try to lecture you. This tries to give you a hug.

This is peak Kevin Smith. Congratulations. Anyone who hasn't watched it in years, should watch it soon again. It's better than you remember it. It's getting better as you are growing older.
