Clerks, is it funny? Find out in this blog post.

Summary:

This new arrival on Netflix is a movie produced in 1994 and directed by Kevin Smith. It’s about a man named Dante Hicks (Brian O'halloran) that works as a clerk at a convenience store in New Jersey. On his day off he ends up getting called into work. But when he agreed to work that day he had no idea of the problems he was about to face.   Including finding out that his ex-girlfriend is about to get married and he is still in love with her, he can’t seem to be able to open the shutters outside, and his current girlfriend will not stop bugging him about starting college, he also finds out revealing “thing” about her past. He has just found out that another ex girlfriend has passed away and today is the last day that he can go to her wake, and still his boss has not come to in to take over for him. He has a hockey game at two o’clock and he is dealing with a lot of rude customers that don’t seem to have much intelligence. One of the funniest problems that Dante deals with on a regular base is his friend Ronald who is a clerk at the video store next door to the convenient store that Dante works at. Ronald is a problem because he is continually disturbing and bothering all of Dante’s customers. Will Dante make it through this long day at work? Just remember Dante came into work on his day off.

Is it true, do Zack and Miri make a Porno?


Summary:
Zack and Miri make a porno is a comedy directed by Kevin Smith. It’s all about two close friends Zack (seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) who find themselves both have money problems and they both need to find a way to make money and quickly. At their class reunion they meet up with an old friend who is trying to become a success in the adult porn industry. After talking to their former classmate they decide that the quickest way to make a lot of money is to help make a porno. First, a video of Miri in her granny panties goes viral helping to ensure that this porno is going to be a success.  They give their porno a geeky appeal.  Zack gathers his roommates and they all begin making this movie. During the process of the film making they face many different obstacle Zack’s parents almost finding out. Towards the end of the film making process we begin to find out that maybe perhaps Zack and Miri are not only long time friends but they may have began to fall in love. Making it even harder for both of them to continue making this porno.

Extremely funny, I would give this movie 8 out of 10, one of the funniest movies that I have seen in a long time Kevin smith does an excellent job. So do all the actors and actresses in this film. Seth Rogen in my opinion might just be one of the funniest actors to work on comedy movies.
