Summary: One of the funniest movies in a long time.
Review: Mallrats, is just one of those movie that if you havent seen yet, you must see. When you think of an 80's Brat Pack movie you think of Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, and Demi Moore. This is in my opinion the 90's version of a Brat Pack movie, With stars such as Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, and Jeremy London, Plus you have Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, playing the pot smoking characters, Jay and "Silent" Bob. I highly reccomend this title to any fan of comedy's or just someone who wants a good laugh.-peace out

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Teaching Children Respect for Escalators
Review: What an awesome movie by Kevin Smith. My friends and I watch the entire collection over and over again. This is the kind of movie that you memorize in order to use that witty quote that goes so well at dates. Any girl that draws a blank when you mention Jay and Silent Bob isn't worth your time. I know, I know, every critic in America blasted this movie(Leonard, I am ashamed about you!), but really, this movie is excellent. Watch out though, some of the dialogue and content is not for the really young or conservative. However, if you like good intelligent movies and don't mind some adult humor, take this film for a spin.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Vastly Underrated
Review: At the time of Mallrats release it bombed horribly at the theater and was thrased by almost every critic, I still dont understand why. Mallrats is truly one of a kind movie that will have you laughing all the way thru. The good thing is the movie did become a cult classic and I can bet money that it will be much more appreciated as time goes by.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Snoochie Boochie!
Review: If you have ever needed a good laugh, I strongly recommend Mallrats. Even though many people say it is dull with no plot it is hysterical. It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. When Brodie and TS first enter the mall the laughs begin and they don't stop until Shannon Hamilton(Ben Affleck)is brought down in the end. Get out and rent this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Am I Stupid or is this THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!
Review: The highlights:

1)Arch-nemesis LaForce (sp?)

2)Snickety-snickety-SNICKT!

3)Shannon Dorhety's greatest role.

4)The woman from Three's Company in the most embarrassing performance in cinematic history.

5)Great soundtrack.

6)Chasing Amy girl in the dressing room.

7)Jay and Silent Bob's drawn out "plans" to defeat LaForse

8)Despite the immense budget for this movie, Kevin Smith still makes it look like it was shot for five grand.

BUY IT! SNOOGINS!

Summary: Not Casablanca- but what is?
Review: Since many have tackled the issue of Mallrat's snowballing, I want to bring up the issue that Mallrats mimics the very text it idolizes. ("Snowballing": this is not in reference to the sexual act described in Clerks, thank you very much.)

The text? Why comic books, of course.

The entire movie is straight out of the pages of a Stan Lee comic book: colorful characters with strange quirks, mad-cap action, slapstick, one-liners, and, most of all, a little female frontal nudity.

So many have completely written this movie off because of its unrealistic portrayal of life in suburban America, but so what? Suburban America is boring- that's why so many kids turned to comic books in the first place!

So my final thoughts about this movie? It certainly is not a Casablanca or a Citizen Kane by any means, but it's eye candy, and meant for that suburban kid who spent most of his/her adolesence amidst the piles of comic books in their local mall's comic shop, searching for the new Stan Lee trade paperback which features different characters in varying silver foil covers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mallrats Mystery Solved
Review: The DVD has over an HOUR of deleted scenes. Hard to believe that the entire opening was scrapped ! Then some of the scenes in the movie had to be voiced-over. An excellent feature makes this DVD well worth the Premium price. All of Kevin Smith's movies are on DVD now, unfortunately DOGMA is not a Collector's edition. By the way , DOGMA is another masterpiece!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A DVD review
Review: The curse of Star Wars was on this film. Which is probably appropriate considering most of Smith's films refer to that series. This DVD was made to try to get some revenue for this film that was a box-office flop and this DVD does that. A cult classic that is very well done in DVD. The 'making of' featurette is very good and explains well why the film was as it is; it was a studio film. The featurette gives a disclaimer in the beginning stating that the views were not studio views, so you get the idea. The commentary was excellent giving some extra tidbits about the filming from a bunch of people. Unlike in the 'Chasing Amy' commentary they don't talk over each other too much. There's also a feature to open a window so the commentators can be seen at times, which was a nice touch. The deleted scenes all refer to a different opening sequence that was deleted and changed after a poor test screening. It was felt that the original opening was too slow. I'd agree, but there is some very funny dialogue that was deleted because they only made sense with the original opening. Also, some scenes and dialogue that was left in made more since with the original opening. The director gives commentary on the deleted scenes too. The now standard production photos, cast/crew biographies, subtitles and trailer are included. A must DVD to have in the collection for any DVD lover, plus a must to complete the Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy trilogy (AKA the New Jersey Trilogy).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: UNDERATED
Review: Why was this movie lambasted by everyone? I believe Mallrats to be Kevin Smith's finest movie to date. And this my friends is what a special edition DVD should be. TONS of extras, a hilarious commentary, interviews with cast and director, and of course one of the funniest movies ever. BUY IT NOW!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "A small price to pay for the smiting of ones enemies...."
Review: This movie like all of Kevin Smiths movies (I've seen all of them except for Chasing Amy)is sly, smart, and crack-a-rib-laughing funny.Some people tend to object to his seeming plotlessness and lackadaisical direction, but they miss the point.The low production values and meandering plotlines serve, in a weird way, to create a reco gnizable version of our own mundane, yet surreal lives on the big screen.Smith gets the way the that people tend to really talk, think, and behave across with all the selfishness, buffoonery, nuerosis, and occaissonal flashes of decency and wit that we all experience.Smith tends to show us as we really are, not as we wish we were, and as added bonus manages to be hilarious in the process. If you don't like your philosphy served with generous helpings of toilet humour you'd best be advised to avoid Mallrats and the rest....but you'll be missing out on a really good time.
