It's OK, I'm taking it back

Clearly I had to see Clerks 2. I mean, my frickin website is named after a line in Clerks! I had a goal to see it opening weekend, and it was tough (busy weekend) but I made it happen.

I was not disappointed.

This movie was fantastic. Yes, it's also a bit raw, and incredibly offensive. But I was laughing pretty much the whole way though. I love comedic dialog, and as far as I'm concerned there's not one better at it than Kevin Smith. That earns him a spot as one of my favorite filmmakers.

Clearly the best barometer for if you'll like this movie is if you liked the first one. They have a lot of key similarities (dialog focused, outrageous.) This one is more polished, and much more outrageous, but it's the same style.

While there were many great scenes, I have to give it up for the Lord of the Rings/Star Wars debate that happens midway through. That one segment was worth the price of admission all by itself. I'll own this DVD, and will likely watch the movie many more times.
