for all its short comings and amateur sense of film making which i can relate to very heavily, that adds to the feeling of it being just a camera sitting in a store, in front of a man working there.
just like it did the 1nd and 2nd watch, it inspired to me to find new ways to make something.

Overview
Convenience and video store clerks Dante and Randal are sharp-witted, potty-mouthed and bored out of their minds. So in between needling customers, the counter jockeys play hockey on the roof, visit a funeral home and deal with their love lives.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A day in the life of two deliberately underachieving convenience store clerks who treat their dead-end job as a stage for comedy, profanity, and absurdist philosophy. It's a brash, talky hang-out movie that finds profound laziness in the mundane.

Simply put, these are not the same characters. This is not randall and dante or at least not the ones they pretend to be.
Randall isn't as effective when toned down(at least when he isn't written by kevin smith)the reason why randall works in the animated show is because:
1-he's still played by jeff anderson
2-he's written in a way that still retains his cocky-ness while fitting a more toned down animated universe.This randall is cocky but the worst he gets is spoiling movie plots but the worst offense is that i don't think the actor playing him does a great job.
Also its hillarious how they try to replicate the plot of the first movie in a 22 format but the reason it doesn't work is because dante is right but at the end he's proven right but somehow he's still childish according to his girlfriend veronica.
The chad randall vs the virgin(not litteraly) dante
Very simple movie but it pays off really well
