Editorial Review When Kevin Smith made "Clerks" 12 years ago, he almost immediately became a cult hero, the guy who sold his beloved comic book collection to direct his first film, a grainy, black-and-white comedy about two convenience store employees who yak, slack off and play the occasional game of roof hockey at their nominal place of employment.

Well, Dante and Randal are back and, aficionados will be gratified to learn, have grown up only slightly. "Clerks II," which Smith has lovingly made as a gift to his stalwart fans, finds Dante and Randal still bantering with customers (watch out for some choice cameos from Smith's rep company), having movie geek-offs (the "Star Wars" vs. "Lord of the Rings" argument is priceless) and relishing crude innuendo.

"Clerks II" finds Smith up to the profane, raunchy, profoundly humanist mischief of which he alone is the master. This is a lewd, lascivious, exhilaratingly life-affirming celebration of misfits and the misfits who love them. Highlights include the return of Jason Mewes (of Jay and Silent Bob) to the big screen, a giddy dance sequence to the Jackson Five's "ABC" and that life force otherwise known as Rosario Dawson, who plays the guys' manager with equal parts sweetness and sexual brio.
