Why Is Clerks 3 Such A Weird Bummer?

Clerks 3... how did a Kevin Smith comedy turn into such a weird bummer? We're diving into Clerks III, the long-awaited return to the world of Dante, Randal, and the Quick Stop, to figure out why this movie left us feeling so unexpectedly sad.

Is Clerks 3 a heartfelt love letter to the original movie and the fans who grew up with it? Is Kevin Smith getting too sentimental?
