Summary: 4 star's for the movie 5 for Jason Lee acting
Review: I read a lot about this movie some of you think its one the best some of you don't like it at all but what most of us agree about that it is the worst Kevin Smith movie , it's not bad at all , but it's not as great as his other one's ,i think it was Jason Lee that saved it with his funny acting other than that the story it self isn't that great it could have been much much better and some of the cast was real bad "TS and his girl friend i guess"

the fact that the movie came so ordinary as every other 80's high school comedy and has nothing new ,, the same old joke's the same old way so typical some time's boring beside it's not as deep as other Kevin Smith movie's , i saw clerks 100's of time's but mallrat's , i only see it every there and then and even skip some parts of it

i am not saying mallrat's is a bad movie , its good but i think i could have been better , a lot better , if you liked other Kevin Smith movie's you'll like this one too but don't expect too much

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Definitive Kevin Smith Film
Review: One of the biggest film mysteries of all time to me is why Kevin Smith apollogized for making Mallrats. Not only is it excellent, but compared to Clerks and (especially) Chasing Amy, it is a flat out Masterpiece.

Kevin, you are the biggest wuss of all time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No Stars! Really!!
Review: I watched the prequel (CLERKS) to this garbage, and I must say that the original basiclly failed but this film should be considered as total druggie fluff.

Where did the director and writter Kevin Smith leave the story, as well as his head, when he came up with the idea of Mall Rats.

The scene in which the two lamo's see the fortune teller and she tell's their future buy reading her third breast says it all. It's not funny at all, no story and no acting whatsoever. And for all you people who think Kevin Smith is some sort of a Movie God, get real! How can you people even think that the inept Kevin Smith can release worthwhile films (other than films of the Ed Wood caliber) is beyond me. Kevin Smith (blah!) Quentin Tarantino is by far the better director, and does have oscar nomionations to prove it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome DVD, underrated movie
Review: Whoever says this movie sucks can bite me. Seriously. It's not Citizen Kane, it's not even Chasing Amy or Clerks for that matter, but it's a funny, mindless teen flick. Jason Lee, is as always, a GOD. He's quickly surpassing Edward Norton as my favorite living actor, although Norton probably is a lot more talented.

The DVD is superb. There's over an hour of deleted scenes, some okay commentary, and some other nice features. Overall, one of the best DVD's out there, and certianly the best one that I own.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mallrats - should've been more!
Review: Kevin Smith's self-described "belly flop". Mallrats found it's home not in theatres (where it bombed) but with the home audience and now the ultimate edition is here. An already hilarious movie gets another dimension added to it with the FULL HOUR of additional footage which was cut out. May seem like too much, but it isn't. It's actually a whole different beginning which they couldn't quite totally cut out. A few remarks you may not have gotten are explained by this new opening (including a must-see part with Jason Lee and a tabloid show outside of Svennings house). Lots of other funny extras including an excellent video-taped commentary track with many of the View Askew clique. A funny movie regardless of success or not, .... The movie may have rated less, .... So, get this movie! You'll watch it multiple times through just to get all the jokes, and if you're a fan...that's no problem at all.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Most valuable addition to my DVD collection
Review: In my opinion, this dvd was well worth the amount of change i put out to get it. Not only because the movie is hysterical and unique, but because of the work the people put into it to make the DVD version shine. This dvd even ranks higher than the Matrix in shear amount of behind-the-scenes footage and worthwhile commentary. Also the cutscenes make this dvd worth watching again and again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a lot more funny than most Hollywood movies
Review: My take on Mallrats it's that it is pretty obsessive (comics & girls & malls) with a lot of intelligent lowbrow dialogue. I don't think that it's a Brat Pack movie, it's more of a classic screwball comedy. And the separate plotlines are constructed pretty well and come together at the end. Chasing Amy looks like it was shot for ten thousand bucks, too. Oh, sure there's a lot of sophmoric humor in Mallrats, but Stripes, Caddyshack, Animal House, and every Rodney Dangerfield movie mine that load for laughs. I thought Porky's and others movies of its ilk such as all the Police Academy movies go for the lowest common denominator (i.e., 13-year-old boys). I saw Mallrats when it first came out in the theaters, it's more upscale and has wittier dialogue than Clerks, but Clerks is still funny - just like Fawlty Towers is neurotically hysterical to this day. I guess that Mallrats was Kevin Smith's debut film - studio-produced, but the studio was lamebrained in not promoting the flick, and therefor it bombed at the box office, and of course the critics followed suit in lockstep with giving tepid to brutal reviews.

Mallrats has better dialogue than 90% of Hollywood's movies in the 70's, the 80's, and the 90's. Kevin Smith is New Jersey's Woody Allen, but he's more down-to-earth and not prone to having a romantic relationship with Mia Farrow's adopted children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Leonard how could you?
Review: I gotta disagree with Maltin on this one. This is the funniest movie I've seen all year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny as *&%£
Review: I caught this movie on T.V and got the video soon after. Genuinely Kevin Smith has got to be one of the truly great film makers of this millenium (and the next), though I admit at times I found Clerks (critically acclaimed as his best work) tedious, I found this to be a riot. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith are great as the two burn-outs Jay and Silent Bob,Jason Lee is excellent (in this as well as in Chasing Amy and Dogma), and at this time Joey Lauren Adams is one of my favourite actresses(just wait till she finds that elusive big break). Forget this actually, just buy all of Kevin Smiths movies, cause after this your going to want to watch them all and if you don't then quite frankly your too old.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What a hilarious movie.
Review: When it comes to movies, I don't care wether they are comedy, classic, drama, horror, or anything! as long as they are good.

Kevin Smith is a wonderfully witty screenwriter and director, who makes both purposely silly jokes, and smart gags that only brighter people may get.

As usual, the dialogue is sharp and raw. It stars the excellent acting talent of Jeremy London (just kidding), Shannon Doherty, the amazing and brilliant Jason Lee, Claire Forani, Michael Rooker, and the always great Ben Affleck.

Absoluetly hilarious if you like ridiculousness equal (but different) to that of Monty Python, and wit equal (but again, very different) to that of Geoege Cuckor (I don't reccomend Cuckor or Monty Python to anybody who likes this and isn't as flexible as me) . See it under those conditions, and have also have an open mind.
