So, now I have received and devoured Clerks II. The region 1 version is, as one would expect from Kevin Smith, a treasurethrow of extra material, good deleted scenes, bloopers, little hidden gems and a long documentary.

The film as such was a real nice surprise. I was a little apprehensive, I worried he would go overboard on this, make a lot of fart and sticky jokes, as a reaction to Jersey Girl. As it turns ot, this is a return to the provocative humour, understated emotions and modern friendships of Chasimg Amy and not the forced 'gross out' factor of Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back.

That's no to say I didn't enjoy the latter, but everything has its time and place, and the title 'Clerks' does set the bar to a higher standard.
Something Kevin Smith seems to be fully aware of, and delivers.

This was a really fine film, I really enjoyed it, yes I had a COZY time!
Clerks II comes in as the best Kevin Smith film since Chasing Amy, and is a worthy bookend to the first Clerks. Our characters are brought to a harbour of sorts, and it just feels right, natural, un-forced.

If Smith chooses never to return to this universe, then this was a worthy conclution.
