Sparky took me out on a hot date last night to see Clerks 2. We loved the first one so sneaking out to see a grown up movie seemed even more fun when it was for this sequel.
My review? Three words. Mr. Pillow Pants. I can't say more than that without either a)ruining that part or b)laughing so hard I run the risk of not being able to breathe again. Bonus points for "Mr. Listerfiend." If you've seen the movie you are now slewing beverage of choice onto your computer screen...sorry.
I had a great time and laughed very loudly for most of the movie with the other four people in the theater. Was it as good as the first? Hard to say. But I think it lived up to it. Is it smart and witty humor? Hell no. It's Clerks--what were you expecting? But it's funny, crude, inappropriate, irreverent and a fun night out.
We saw a mom there with her son--he was about 12-13 yrs old. I don't even want to know what she was thinking. And I don't envy her trying to explain most of that movie to him later on!
If you liked the first one you'll like this one. I still go into fits of laughter when Sparky mentions Mr. Pillow Pants. The kind of uncontrollable giggle fits that leave you gasping for air.
