Kevin Smith's Clerks3 rings up a 69% on Rotten Tomatoes with first reviews — see what critics are saying:
Clerks Dante and Randal may be too old for this shift, but writer-director Kevin Smith's Clerks III is ringing up a Rotten Tomatoes score worthy of a"snoochie boochies." Smith's sequel to 1994's Clerks and 2006's Clerks II — playing in select theaters September 13-18 ahead of Smith's roadshow tour — debuted on the critic aggregation site with a"fresh" 69% approval from 26 reviews at press time.
The Hollywood Reporter:"Like an ouroboros that has tired of sucking his own tail and moved on to another body part, Kevin Smith's Clerks III is about as pure an exercise in self-referential self-gratification as you get on a movie screen, and if your understandable response is,"who the hell asked for this," well, you're just not paying attention ...
TheWrap:"The finale of Clerks III is genuinely heartwarming and thoughtful, with a generous application of dorky humor for flavor. Very much the Smith aesthetic. But the film's actual conclusion, during the closing credits, is either a profound attempt to completely demolish all cinematic pretense once and for all, or it's a shockingly lazy attempt to give the film two very different final moments instead of actually committing to a single narrative decision.
"I wanted to tell my heart attack story with my characters," Smith told EW of his return to the Clerks corner of the View Askewniverse after 15 years."So Randal, the video-store guy, has a massive heart attack. While he recovers, he laments that he's wasted his life watching movies and never thought about making one himself. Randal and Dante essentially make their own version of Clerks, a black-and-white movie called Inconvenience.
