Instead of being allowed to sleep in on his day off, a man is called in to work an extra shift at his convenience store job, and his day goes to complete shit.

The acting is a little halted in places, since these are mostly or perhaps entirely first-timers, but the writing is spectacular. It’s got great flow and style, and is hilarious and memorable.

I first rented this as a VHS tape back in the day, and was immediately impressed. I’m glad this movie, and its author, have done well.

• aka Clerks. (with a trailing period)
• Takes place in Leonardo, Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States.
