I've seen his other movies, did you think I wouldn't catch this one?
Dante and Randal are still running the convenience store and after Randal has a heart attack decides to make a movie. Which is the first movie, Clerks, complete in black and white, but with all the actors the age they are now. And Dante gets fed up over it.
And that's the movie. Which isn't to say that it isn't funny at times, and a large part of that does come from hearing Kevin Smith talk about various behind the scenes bits which are repeated here, but... yeah, did this movie need to be? This is just a love letter to Kevin's previous movies, and that's great but... unless you know the movies, there isn't much here for the new watchers.
...which doesn't make this a long review, but sometimes that's all it's worth.
