Trivia

There are two scenes in the movie where digital cameras have a cameo. In the first scene a modified version of a Kodak DC40 can be seen. The movie prop has a sand colored body and yellow status LEDs on the back whereas the real world DC40 is black and has none such LEDs. In the second scene a customer brings in what looks like an early Kodak DSLR. He complains about an overheated CPU and the fear to lose his images which is absolute nonsense of course. The camera he slams on the counter appears to be a movie prop as there is no real world version of this camera. It has a close resemblance to the integrated Kodak Hawkeye II however.

Clerks for the retirement community...at least it tries to be

This movie is set in 1994, the year Clerks was released. It takes place mostly in one location, and its characters swear a lot while working behind a cash register and experiencing major life changes over the course of a single day. That's about all it has in common with Kevin Smith's first feature, as it contains none of the charm, wit, or dramatic weight of the earlier film. It has more professional actors, camerawork, editing, and better filmmaking in general, sure -- but nothing all that interesting or important happens, and nothing these characters do makes any sense. They just talk and talk and talk without getting anywhere or learning anything. Nothing changes, no one evolves, and none of the characters relate to each other in a meaningful way...and some of them are super racist for no reason whatsoever! Its themes fall flat, and by the time it's over one is left wondering what the point was...turns out, there wasn't one.
