Summary: The One Klunker Out Of Kevin Smith
Review: I absolutely loved Clerks. Chasing Amy and Dogma are both in my top 10 list of favorite movies of all time. I simply cannot WAIT for Smith's next installment, whatever it may be.

This film was mediocre at best. If you crossed Clerks with "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" or "Wayne's World", you'd get Mallrats. I sometimes like that kind of movie, but the mixture of Smith with that genre does not work.

Buy this work only if you love Smith's work so much that you have to own everything he's done. I almost do, but not quite. :)

Summary: Two Words: Jason Lee
Review: A lot of people said that this film didn't really live up to what Kevin Smith did in Clerks, or what he did afterwards with Chasing Amy, but personally I think that Mallrats is the best of Smith's four movies so far. First of all, it's the only one to feature Jason Lee as the main character as opposed to the smaller roles he was degraded to in Dogma and Chasing Amy (although he was in that one a lot). Lee is simply brilliant, no one can deliver a line quite like him. I also love all the little things about this movie that you pick up on repeated viewings, like the kid Brodie keeps yelling about in the escalator, and then later on this guys like "someone get a paramedic, theres a little boy caught in the escalator." Anyway, buy this movie, and also buy Chasing Amy and Clerks. Personally I don't care for Dogma that much but buy that one too if youre a fan.

Summary: All time Fav.
Review: Wow, I love this movie. Kevin Smith has a quality which shows in all his flicks (Dogma, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Clerks) that sticks out and grabs your attention. Jay and Silent Bob are hilarious, and are always up to something. The amazing word usage and complex stories/explanations really put Kevin Smith films on a whole new level of comedy. I own this DVD and watch it ALL THE TIME. One of my fav's =)

Summary: Copulating Superheros
Review: Mallrats- If you liked Clerks, get it. If you liked Chasing Amy, get it. If you like witty humor and tons of sarcasm, get it.

I don't understand people who claim this film is not as good as some of Kev Smith's other flicks. It has much better acting than Clerks and is tremendously more humorous than Chasing Amy. I could ramble for hours about what makes this View Askew piece as rewarding as any of the others, but I won't. I will simply give you one reason to get this film.... Jason Lee.

Jason Lee (Almost Famous, Chasing Amy) blows away everyone in this flick (except Jay and his hetero life mate, Silent Bob, nootch.) Watching this movie, you get the sense that Lee's character was expanded simply because of the authenticity that Lee oozes. This was Jason Lee's first large role and he ran with the opportunity. Brodie (Lee) is that guy that all of you know. Half disgusting, half hilarious, and faster than Walt Flanigan's dog. Treat yourself, get it.

Summary: Smith went a little too far to impress.
Review: After the mega-success of Clerks, Kevin Smith tried a little too hard to impress the masses with Mallrats. Now we have the introduction of some "stars" into the mix. That is, if you want to consider Shannen Doherty a star. The plot is weakened by some forced comedy elements. Too many prat falls and silly humor take away from the edge that this movie could have had. Luckily, Kevin Smith got it back together when he made Mallrats.

Summary: Its a sailboat
Review: From reading most of the other reviews I seem to be in the minority when I call this a classic. Of all the Kevin Smith movies Dogma is my favourite followed by Mallrats then the not so good Chasing Amy followed by the deplorable(in my opinion) Clerks.

I did not enjoy Clerks at all and will probably be slated over this given the reviews I just read but I honestly wasn't all that impressed. Mallrats is far superior and has such classic moments as Jay and Silent Bob beating up the Easter Bunny and Brodie sharing his choolate pretzels. The acting was very good by all I thought and I laughed from start to finish well mostly. I really like Silent Bob's attempt to use the jedi mind trick and his run with the sock full of coins. Sorry all but I have to go now and watch this film again. Its really really good and well worth buying

Summary: The Worst Movie of all Time
Review: It has everything a movie should not have. Lots of foul language, Teens who act like they are on drugs, and a total waste of good 35 Mili-meter film. Some advice to Kevin Smith, don't make movies anymore. Write comic books instead, which no one reads anymore either.

Review: WHY DID I MISS THIS MOVIE? this was hysterical and I had never even heard of it until 2000. I remember seeing an ad a long time ago but it seemed like cheese at the time and the name Mallrats turns off a certain demographic (me) that's why I didn't remember it. But I just let loose one day and decided on the recommendation of a friend to view. All I have to say is stinkpalm- this movie rules. IMPORTANT NOTE: If your older than 35 you may not like this movie. DVD a must because deleted scene of the girls father coming out of the shower will make you cry laughing.
