Vivid's 'Clerks XXX' Debuts Online Tuesday

LOS ANGELES—Vivid Entertainment flashes back to the '90s with Clerks XXX: A Porn Parody, premiering online at Vivid.com Tuesday, Jan. 29, and in stores nationwide Feb. 5. The screenplay for the Clerks XXX parody is the work of veteran writer David Stanley, fulfilling his long-held dream of creating an adult parody of the 1994 black-and-white indie cult classic. Written and directed by Kevin Smith, the original Clerks was a quirky comedy about a pair of shop assistants. Stanley’s adult parody/comedy version is filled with lewd and crude humor and celebrates the sex lives of slackers Dana (Allie Haze), Silent Bertha (Kelly Divine), Randi (Lexi Swallow) and Jane (Chastity Lynn). The movie also stars Jayden Lee, Evan Stone, Mark Davis, Brian Street Team, Seth Gamble and Barry Scott.The storyline follows Dana, who is unhappy with her job as a smut-jockey in a porno store. To compound her malaise, she has two boyfriends, both of whom are cheating on her, and she’s been called in to work on her one day off. She also has to contend with smart-ass co-worker Randi, a riot by anti-condom crusaders, video booth customers who can’t resist ejaculating on the video screens, a silent pimp and his obnoxious prostitute, a gerbil-loving customer and assorted other problems. While we root for Dana to get through the day in one piece, we also wonder if she will finally take action to change her life.The Clerks XXX DVD includes a non-hardcore sex version in black-and-white.
