Tired, wellworn plot, waste of Hugh Jackman (sigh --- right up there w/ Jake & Ralph), Scarlett Johanssen was weak & unbelievable - uh, I agree w/ Clarissa - loved the Focus Features beginning & then downhill from there.

Wow. Looks like I dodged a bullet on this one. ;)
I also went to see "Clerks II" this past weekend - yesterday. I really liked the first one so I figured what the hell. Raunchy as all get-out and so overtly sexist and oversexed that I thought I had stumbled into a Howard Stern documentary. Of course I knew it was going to be that way going in - the first one wasn't all that different in that sense. But darn it, I enjoyed the film, in spite of a few literally cringe-inducing moments. I really enjoy Jason Mewes (of Jay and Silent Bob) - he's just so out there and so fully himself all the time - the guy is fearless. He cracked me up several times in his sheer audacity. And I think Jeff Anderson ("Randall," ironically enough) is just a naturally funny person. Neither he nor Brian O'Halloran ("Dante") could act their way out of a paper bag in the first installment. But I think they've taken some lessons since then - they were actually natural and believable this time around. Anderson's comic timing was always spot on, but he didn't have the chops, ya know?
So I have a question: What IS it with Kevin Smith that he feels the need to CONSTANTLY surmise that every male character who has the least little bit of affection for another male character is gay? This time around, I found him doing it almost satirically - like in a self-deprecating way. So I have to wonder - is he himself gay? I don't normally wonder this about anyone, but me thinks the lady doth protest too much is all.
That said, the movie actually ended up being more poignant than I expected. It showed how far Smith has come in some ways. And how little he's changed in others.
