Clerks III
Clerks III
Dante, Elias, and Jay and Silent Bob are enlisted by Randal after a heart attack to make a movie about the convenience store that started it all.
Kevin Ward reviewedJuly 6, 2025
This felt more like a Clerks retrospective than a true sequel and I have to admit that the first 10-15 minutes felt pretty rough in part because of how old everyone looks. (With Rosario Dawson, Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck being the exceptions). It effectively starts you off with the feeling that maybe we’ve gone back to the well one too many times. BUT when you get reacquainted with these characters and they fall back into their familiar roles, the film finds it’s groove. It’s absolutely dependent on at least having seen the first 2 films. There are sooooo many references to events of those movies that I don’t think that this would really be at all enjoyable if you hadn’t at least seen them. The final act was a fitting send off for these characters, though even if it felt overly saccharine. Clerks 3 is a worth checking out, but probably only recommended for fans of the franchise.
