Clerks 1994

Directed by Kevin Smith

  • Comedy
  • 92 min
  • R

Just because they serve you doesn't mean they like you.

Convenience and video store clerks Dante and Randal are sharp-witted, potty-mouthed and bored out of their minds. So in between needling customers, the counter jockeys play hockey on the roof, visit a funeral home and deal with their love lives.
