Review of Clerks III

Kevin Smith's best film is Clerks 2 or Chasing Amy. I will not argue either way. I was very excited for Clerks 3, but nervous after the last Jay and Silent Bob movie, which kinda sucked. When I saw the trailer and saw Rosario Dawson, I got excited. This is going to be a sequel to the sequel. A part of a trilogy. I knew it could not match Clerks 2, but I had hope of a bookend to the whole universe. The first 30-40 minutes of this movie are not funny at all, but then it picks up steam. It would have been better without the kid from Clerks 2 becoming a satanist. Also, the Quick Stop is saved by selling kites online. DUMB. I did like the stuff with Becky and Dante. Some of the deleted scenes should have been left in the movie while the Amy Sedaris and Justin Long scenes should have been cut. It seems like Smith made 2 movies and mashed them together. On the plus side, it is fun to see the auditions and all the old characters coming back 30 years later. RIP Dante and Becky.
