Oh, for fuck’s sake is this movie pointless. Sure, there are some points which are pretty funny, but overall it’s the same, tired plot that even Clerks fans have to be getting tired of. Basically, there’s a guy who is working in a dead-end job, making very little money, and when compared with others who took similar classes in high school and got similar grades, he is simply not performing at his peak—in fact, he is under-achieving to almost Guinness Book of Records levels.If you stop trying to take this seriously and can avoid having the plot bother you, that guy who does the Mac commercials for Apple is the under-achiever, but Ryan Reynolds steals most of the thunder in his over-the-top manner. Reynolds is pretty much able to continue the character he portrayed in Van Wilder.

This is a decent movie to watch, but really don’t expect much and there’s a significant chance you’ll get annoyed and say to yourself that you’ve already fucking seen Clerks in a convenience store and don’t need to see it again a decade later in a restaurant.
