Clerks 2 is a comedy film released on DVD in the USA. The sequel takes place ten years after the events of the original and follows Dante Hicks and Randal Graves as they continue working at the Quick Stop convenience store, which is now under different ownership. The story explores what happens when the lazy twenty-something malaise extends into the thirties, with the characters still stuck in a place where it is time to actually grow up and do something more than just sit around and dissect pop culture and talk about sex. Kevin Smith explained during an interview at his Hollywood office that the film asks what happened to these dudes and examines their arrested development. The item was added to iOctavio.com on 2006-11-16. The genre is comedy, which helps categorize the film for web searches and viewing expectations. The DVD format allows viewers to watch this R rated comedy about workplace antics, friendship stagnation, and the reluctance to embrace adult responsibilities from the comfort of home. The sequel picks up ten years later and maintains the crude humor and conversational style of the original while introducing new characters and scenarios that reflect the passage of time without personal growth. The original review captures the essence of the film as a continuation of the characters arrested development and their failure to move beyond the inertia of young adulthood into meaningful productive lives.
