Blu-ray Review Clerks 3 – Bluray review (1 Viewer)

[Sam Posten]

The Clerks / Clerks 2 Convenience Store clerks Randall (Jeff Anderson) and Dante (Brian O’Halloran) have, unexpectedly, gotten old.  Sure, now they are owners of the Quick Stop, but more has stayed the same in their lives than has changed.  They are both still single (tho Dante is now a widower, with Becky (Rosario Dawson) having died between films). They are still obsessed with movies, sports, and pop culture.  And they are still surrounded by New Jersey wackos (trust me, these characters have nothing on the real central NJ weirdos) including Jay (Jay Mewes), Silent Bob (Kevin Smith), Elias (Trevor Fehrman) and more.  Jay and Silent Bob have graduated from selling street drugs to go legit, owning a dispensary next door. Fate intervenes in the banality of Randall’s life by hitting him with a ‘widow maker’ heart attack, giving him new perspective and a desire to make movies instead of just watching them.  With Dante producing, and Silent Bob (!) directing, they begin production of...

I watched it digitally yesterday.

I am not a Kevin Smith fan. I rarely find his movies even remotely humorous. CHASING AMY was perhaps his greatest effort, in my opinion.

Clerks III, for me, was pretty bad all around. Justin Long's cameo was cringe-worthy.

Still, I have to give Smith credit for providing a rather sweet way to end his trilogy with a nice tribute. And, of course, it's nice to see many of the film locations that are a mere mile from my home.

I did. I thought this was Smith’s most mature film. I know that’s not saying a lot, given his sophomoric humor, but this was different. It wasn’t what I expected and that was good. Legit work by O’Halloran and Anderson.

I recently rewatched Chasing Amy and I found my opinion changed a lot. Where I once thought it was one of his best, I now cringed at the script and the choices it made.

Not yet but I plan to pick up a copy at some point as I'm somewhat a fan of most of Smith's work and enjoy the Clerks series of films...

The one I most regret not getting on BR is Dogma, my favorite film from his body of work (I *do* have a DVD copy so...). Don't much care for Tusk and I've never seen Chasing Amy (it's a rom/com - and I tend to avoid those) but recently purchased a copy (was in a 3 pack with Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) so it'll get watched at some point.

I love the message from Kevin Smith at the beginning of the disc thanking fans for buying it, and why it matters.

He gets it. He is one of us!!

Legit work by O’Halloran and Anderson.

Have to disagree. They can't act. Never could. Still can't.
