You can take the clerks out of the Quick Stop, but you just can't take the Quick Stop out of the clerks as
Dante (
Brian O'Halloran) and
Randall (
Jeff Anderson) prove in this long-awaited sequel to
Kevin Smith's breakthrough
comedy. Years after we last saw them,
Dante is still toiling behind the counter at a New Jersey convenience store and
Randall is still annoying customers at the video shop next door -- or at least they are until a fire burns down the strip mall, forcing
Dante and
Randall to look for work. Times are tough, and the guys find themselves embracing the ultimate indignity as they take jobs at Mooby's, a fast-food outlet where the burgers are advertised as "udderly delicious." While
Randall's snarky attitude toward the public remains unchanged,
Dante is trying to make the best of the situation as he plans to marry his fiancée,
Emma (
Jennifer Schwalbach Smith), and move to Florida. However,
Dante's plans are complicated when he falls for
Becky (
Rosario Dawson), a funny and tart-tongued woman who happens to be his boss at Mooby's. Lurking about in the background, as always, are
Jay (
Jason Mewes) and
Silent Bob (
Kevin Smith), who for good or ill have changed even less with the passage of time than
Dante and
Randall.
Clerks II also features
Wanda Sykes,
Ethan Suplee, and
Trevor Fehrman, with cameo appearances from
Kevin Smith regulars
Ben Affleck and
Jason Lee.
