This is a 90-minute retrospective documentary for Clerks - (1994 movie) that focuses on Smith's early inception of the film, the process of making and distributing and finally, the reaction and response to the film from critics and fans.

An abortion clinic worker with a special heritage is called upon to save the existence of humanity from being negated by two renegade angels trying to exploit a loop-hole and reenter Heaven.

I can't remember anything about this. I may watch it again one day. I don't recall disliking it.
