It's been WAY too long (7 months to be exact, yikes!) since my last pop culture update, so I watched Clerk 2 yesterday! And the verdict is....I'm drooling over this movie! I absolutely loved it. So much that it’s probably in my top 5 favorites of all time!
I laughed from the beginning scene through the entire movie. This is also the only movie I’ve ever seen that was able to successfully balance crude humor, romance, and deep sentiment. Kevin Smith did a phenomenal job.
A few favorite things:
- Pillow pants. Now THAT is funny shit.
- The Lord of the Rings references/jokes. "One ring to rule them all" LOL!
- I think it’s awesome that Kevin Smith played the role of Silent Bob… “I got nothing”
- I think it’s even more awesome that a lot of the cast were friends of Kevin Smith’s from college and they all got together to do the movie.
- Rosario Dawson. Need I say more?
- Sometimes I just sat there thinking "What the F?!" but in a way that was something I really loved about this movie--there was always a twist! Kelly and the stud, anybody?
Ahh, I’m so excited to have watched such an awesome movie. I’m going to watch Clerks soon, too.
