Clerks

Admission: I didn’t pay a lot of attention to this movie. It is quite slow and completely driven by dialogue from an almost entirely drug-using, male cast; it was hard for me to relate much as a drug-free female. There were moments where I felt for the plight of the retail worker, but mostly I thought “glad I’m not this guy”. Plot, from what I could tell, read like this: guy gets called into work on his day off and then life sucks, sometimes because it’s life and sometimes because he makes it suck. And Kevin Smith doesn’t talk much.
