“Clerks” follows a day in the lives of Dante Hicks (Brian O’Halloran) and his best friend Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson), two underachievers working dead-end jobs at a convenience store and a video rental shop. Dante, called in on his day off, navigates a parade of eccentric customers, relationship drama with his girlfriend Veronica (Marilyn Ghigliotti), and the return of his ex, Caitlin (Lisa Spoonauer).
Meanwhile, Randal’s sardonic wit and disregard for social norms make for endless comedic chaos, from offending customers to staging rooftop hockey games. The film’s slice-of-life structure is punctuated by hilarious interludes with Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith), the stoner duo loitering outside the store.
