THE sequel to the 1994 low budget feature which made Kevin Smith's name has quite a sweet story beneath the gross out humour.

Amid the geeky film references and in-jokes, fast food worker Brian O'Halloran flirts with new boss Rosario Dawson. But will either of them have the courage to reveal their true feelings?

Clerks II (15): Comedy sequel, directed by Kevin Smith. Running time: 101 minutes.
