Clerks 3

"Not funny enough turns to often not funny, a star-studded audition scene... notwithstanding."

"Clerks III comes from the heart, but with... minimal dramatic tact."

"Like the junk food that the central characters sell in their convenience store, it’s a strangely moreish brew that you enjoy but feel faintly guilty about consuming..."

"O’Halloran and Anderson both hit some legitimately heart-tugging notes, adding a dimension of vulnerability and humanity to Dante and Randal."

"Kevin Smith's meta three-quel sees him indulge far too many of his worst instincts as a filmmaker. Fortunately, his best ones make an appearance, too."

"Clerks III is as funny as a heart attack."

"There’s a watchable 90-minute movie hidden in the almost two-hour runtime of Clerks III."

"More of a recognition reel for a fan convention than a movie..."

"It is too sentimental and cloyingly self-satisfied, but it also stays true to certain qualities of the director that are charmingly admirable."

"When it gets beyond the peripheral characters and focuses on Dante and Randal, Clerks III delivers some of Smith’s most arresting work in years."
