Have not seen it yet but like most sequels I don't expect it to be like the first. Though it is getting fairly good reviews...
rotten tomatoes reviews

what does the Lounge think?

I can't wait to see it - just don't tell Joel Siegel.

I'm looking forward to seeing it, too. Anybody know what song is playing in the trailer when Jay goes "oooo?"

It's "goodbye horses"

I saw the Austin premiere of this and it was hilarious. I was a little concerned going in. It's way better than the previews make it look. Ignore them.

I had never seen Clerks until last night.

I got it on On-Demand, and turned it off after 30 minutes. I thought it was pretty tedious, slow, and not funny.

I saw it last night. Non-stop laughing, the kind where you think you might die soon because you haven't breathed. the writing is so good. my only complaint is the guy that plays dante can't act to save his life.

Bad move. I'm trying to remember what parts you would have seen in 30 minutes, but Clerks. is gold. I mean, 37? In a row? is classic.

Good to hear that the movie is getting good reviews because the commericals/previews look horrible.

The most glaring bad acting by Dante in the original is when hes getting reamed after the fight by Randall and just looks like and idiot. Hes not even saying anything but he does it terribly.

And the scene where hes reading the paper/magazine while talking to Dante and he actually [censored] stutters through a part of it.

Otherwise its a great movie, but the kind you just chill and watch as its all dialogue all the time.

Ill probably catch Clerks II on DVD etc, not too interested, am definitely afraid it will ruin the original.

I think I'm like the only one that likes Mallrats a bit more than Clerks. Neither are that great IMO however.
