We were at the video store and it was my girlfriends turn to choose. This is not usually a problem as she has great taste in movies despite a flare for sometimes over obscure art films. 5 minutes into the movie I was already raving about how great it was. It's tagline is "what clerks did for convenience stores..." but kevin smith could never provide such fresh, clever and still believable characters. The movie has tons of great shots and even better lines. at certain times we can empathize with all of the characters. Rather than being slow as docu-dramas tend to be, Barnone moves at a steady pace being consistently funny and above all REAL. I fully recommend this movie to anyone who has ever worked in/drank in or been kicked out of a bar.
