Clerks 2
Ten years ago best friends Dante Hicks and Randal Graves were mini-mall clerks
slacking off together. Now working in the fast-food universe, Dante and Randal
have managed to hone their in-your-face attitudes. But they're also faced with
such shocking prospects as marriage, leaving Jersey and finding real careers.
Dante and Randal invade the world of Mooby's fast food restaurant, where the
slogan is "I'm Eating It." When Dante announces that he's going to leave Jersey
forever and marry Emma Bunting, Randal plots a going-away party so shocking it
will draw the police, the fire department and potential protests from PETA,
while altering their lives forever. Clever writing and a fitting sequel to the
cult hit Clerks.
