ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Kevin Smith's (CHASING AMY, DOGMA) quirky and quotable first feature caught the attention of critics, and received awards at the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals. It follows a day in the lives of two convenience clerks named Dante and Randal as they annoy customers, discuss movies, and play hockey on the store roof. Salon.com raves, "Smith captures the zeitgeist of an era and becomes the voice of a generation."

SYNOPSIS

Dante (Brian O’Halloran) is called in to cover a shift at his New Jersey convenience store on his day off. His friend Randal (Jeff Anderson) helps him pass the time, neglecting his video-store customers next door to hang out in the Quick Stop. The uneventful day is disrupted by news that one of Dante’s ex-girlfriends has died. After attending her memorial service, Dante muses over staying with current girlfriend Veronica (Marilyn Ghigliotti) or reuniting with ex Caitlin (Lisa Spoonhauer).
