Clerks III. I have been disappointed by pretty much every movie I’ve seen in theaters the past couple years with very few exceptions. I didn’t really expect to like the movie as much as I did, but I loved it. It has this charming simplicity to it that reminded me of why I really love movies. Guess I have to admit that I’m kind of a sucker for Smith’s more sentimental dialogue, especially of his earlier movies, and Clerks III legitimately hit me harder emotionally than a movie has in a very long time.

I actually really disliked clerks 3, being such a fan of 1 & 2 with the more "day in the life" aspects and just how dark humored those films were. Clerks 3 felt like it was trying really hard to be funny with only a few moments landing and was too meta for a clerks movie

Of course, I absolutely loved Jay and silent bob reboot while many others hated it, but I feel the meta humor works better there as strikes back was already super meta before it, and reboot was actually continuously funny to me unlike clerks 3
