Well, I somehow can't see it sweeping the boards next February at the Kodak Theatre, but what can I say, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT nonetheless.
Any Kevin Smith fan really should not hesitate, they will not be disappointed.
The conversations on wheelchair users, the inherent gayness of Lord of the Rings, the morality of 'ass then mouth' during intercourse, the 'porch monkeys' faux pas, and 'pant pillow trolls' amongst others were absolutely inspired.
And as for the extended 'inter-species erotica' scene involving a donkey called 'Kinky Kelly', I laughed so hard that tears were running down my face, and my balls felt like they were going to fall off!
If you like comedy rude, crude, and in all honesty, several notches below the lowest common denominator. Then you won't find a funnier film this year ;D

Nice one Travis, I'll make top on my list as soon as I get chance to get out and see it. I wonder if York City Screen will show it, or whether I'll have to go to a hideous multiplex.

Doesn't look like the City Screen is gonna show it, ah well. Means I'll proably go and see it at the Warner place in BUrley then... always a good excuse to go to the Sheesh Mahal for a good curry afterwards

Brilliant thanks travis, I'll getting round to watch that soon then. Where would you rate it amongst other Kevin Smith films? Well I've always been torn between Chasing Amy and Clerks as being my personal favourites, different films but unmistakenly linked by the inspired dialogue. Clerks 2 (unsurprisingly) is pretty much a retread of the original except the two main characters are older and fatter, and now have two co-workers. Now for me, the dialogue (always the star of Smith's films) is every bit as sharp and funny as in the original, maybe even more so, while the bestiality scene certainly ups the ante following on from the corpse sex in Clerks. On first showing I would say I enjoyed Clerks 2 at least as much as the original. Maybe in time that opinion could change. I think the only reason why reviews are not quite as emphatic in praise this time around is simply because it is a sequel, the jokes are still there, and at least as funny, but being a sequel, it's no longer a fresh and original concept, and can therefore never hope replicate the impact of the original .
