when one look at clerk and it pretty easy to realize that it a bit overrated . it not to say it be a bad movie and but consider how much respect and a cult it have create in it wake and it seem a bit too much . the film be a major hit in the 94 sundance . i guess people be captivate that a man who work in a convenience store be able a movie great than most people make in the entire career . now do not a shakeperean story here . it tell the story of dante hick ( brain ohalloran ) and your everyday clerk whose brought in on his day off . throughout the day and he and his best friend or bad enemy or co worker randal graf ( jeff anderson ) several obstacle in a greatly monotonous job . this include screw up customer and girlfriend and and stoner jay ( jason mewes ) and silent bob ( director or writer kevin smith ) . what probably get to audience the most be the film no hold bar and raunchy dialog that threaten it with nc 17 rating . kevin smith hold no qualm in create some of most sexual explicit situation in film history . many time it feel force and over the top and usually put me in an uncomfortable place . that be say though and smith be able to write some amazing character . in most day and studio and filmmaker try to usually to cram the film character down our throat so by the end of the day and be suppose to feel for them . smith doesn not do that . he just let the character play out and put them situation that relate to the audience . these situation include be stick in a dead end job and yet never have the courage to leave and start a real life . smith make u feel whatever we want to feel for the character and which theyre usually soon in the positive light . the film look be also something to be admire . usually and independent film pride themselves for their artistic vision . the opposite could be say for clerk . the movie be so artistically challenge it give it a grainy and poor look that put the audience in a world unlike most others . while not nearly worth the year of hype and clerk remain a wonderful and nicely do comedic farce .
