If you like Clerks, you will love Kevin Smiths Mallrats movie. It is an all around great film about common life for coming of age teens and young people in the 90s in the U.S. I promise you will love Mallrats and learn more about Americans than any film.

As others have mentioned, there is Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and more. They've all their own slant to them while being intertwined. Also as others have mentioned, and you've likely read by the sounds but fi not: A little bit of fun is that the shudders being jammed shut was a plot device to hide that they were shooting at night. Smith, indeed, was working there and got permission from his boss to shoot at night while coming in during the day to work... the film was shot within a month of round the clock days. Smith told a story I vaguely recall of how the owner came in before opening one morning and it was the day of the fight scene.... he walked into his store just thrown apart and turned and walked back out. Black and white was a budget matter - borrowed money, sold his possessions, and maxed his credit cards to make it - and they didn't have the money or time to deal with balancing lighting tones and dealing with color film so going black and white was cheaper and faster. They'd edit the film in the back of the video store. I absolute love the damn Deathstar/Independent Contractors scene. That has stuck with me hard for decades lol. LOVED your reaction at finding out she'd fucked the old man when he was dead. That was a hoot hahaha.
