Mallrats

Summary: warning to consumer
Review: well you all know that this is a damn good movie but be warned all dvd purchasers, the copy that I received with the two in one screen special feature with the audio commentary you may find it effects the audio when viewing normally. About 5 times during the movie the sound starts to jump a bit can become very annoying.

Summary: Snootchy Bootchies!!!
Review: I will never understand critics. How could they bash Mallrats? Additionally I will never understand Kevin Smith. How could he bash Mallrats? It is awesome.

T.S. and Brody (Jeremy London and Jason Lee) are a couple of college guys that have just split with their significant others. Brody convinces T.S. that what they both need is a day at the mall to clear their heads. When they get there they discover the TV show T.S.'s girlfriend, Brandi (Claire Forlani) is going to be on is in the mall. They also discover Rene (Shannen Doherty), Brody's girlfriend, is also in the mall parading around with Shannon (Ben Affleck), who Brody hates. So Brody and T.S. enlist Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith) to help trash the show. Along the way all sorts of ramdom, hysterical events ensue.

Mallrats is a classic, or cult classic. It is just hilarious. The acting is not great, but Jason Lee and Jason Mewes, and the writing more than make up for it. I love how he uses so many one-liners from other movies. The story is a trip. This movie is not suppose to be serious so why would anyone take it that way? On the Collectors Edition DVD Kevin Smith and members of the cast have a roast session during the commentary track. I think it is almost as funny as the actual film. However I am a little miffed as well. I think this movie is great, but most of the principals don't seem to think so. That is too bad. Kevin, you did great, live with it.

Bottom line, see Mallrats. Yes, it is primarily adolescent humor, but it is clever adolescent humor. This my favorite of Kevin Smith's films, but Chasing Amy and Clerks are also worth seeing. Snoogums.

Summary: awsome movie
Review: Mallrats is Kevin Smith's second of 5 Jersey Chronicle movies.
this also happend to be his the first movie to make it to the big screen because Clerks was more of a B movie, if you can call it that.
anyway, Jason Lee makes him movie debut in as does Ben Affleck, who came out in the other 4 Kevin Smith movies and is also coming out in Jersey Girl, with JLO and it is also directed by Kevin Smith.

good movie with good laughs. you'll watch it over and over.
never get tired of it.

Summary: Somewhere between Clerks and Chasing Amy is Mallrats
Review: Panned by critics and fans alike, I enjoyed this movie, for one very good reason: Jason Mewes. Everything that guy says is funny. And even funnier when written by Kevin Smith. This movie is not like Clerks with its irreverance and funniness. Nor is it as well written and as well made as Chasing Amy. But it is a good enough movie in its own right, and shouldn't necessarily be compared witht hose films. Jay and Silent Bob are in it too. how could you go wrong.

Summary: Kevin smith stikes again!
Review: Kevin Smith strikes again! A movie full of funny situations and even funnier characters.

Brodie is an obsessive comic collector. He lives and breathes Superman and other famous comic characters. His life starts to go down hill after his girlfriend breaks up with him. Jason Lee is hilarious and he's an actor who can mould to so many characters. Brodie is quite cheeky and humourous and that kind of personality suits Lee down to the ground. He can pull it off with style.

T.S is Brodie's best mate and he also falls single after a breakup with his girlfriend. Jeremy London has a guy next door look about him and he has definately applied it to T.S and his personality.

Renee is Brodie's girlfriend/Ex to be. She has had enough playing 2nd best in Brodie's life. Shannen Doherty is perfect for this role. She gives Renee a girl power exterior.

Jay and Silent Bob - Kevin Smiths master creations. They make trouble wherever possible and are always on the look out for more killer ideas. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith are Jay and Silent Bob - they are great!

Brandy - the former girlfriend of T.S. She is the perfect picture of innocence and soon to be contestant on her fathers game show. Claire Forlani plays the innocence of Brandy well because she has that girl next door look and she brings a lot of hidden qualities to Brandy.

Somehow all these people and more end up in the mall. Cue the outrageous goings on and havoc breaking out everywhere. Will T.S and Brodie get their loved ones back? or will their plans hit them right in the face?
Will Brandy go on her fathers show and go off with another guy?
Will Jay and Silent Bob find something constructive to do aside from causing trouble?

What can I say?...Mallrats is a whole lot of fun and mayhem. Its all down to the great story, great cast and the influence of Kevin Smith himself.

Summary: This movie doesn't Suck!
Review: I don't care what most of the other reviews say. I saw this movie thinking it would be a total downer, but I found it quite funny and interesting. And just because the plot isn't as continuous it doesn't mean it isn't there. Plot line- A man (T.S.) is about to spend a vaction in florida with his girl friend when he finds out she cannot go because she must stay and be the guest on her fathers dating show. He is very upset because he was going to ask her to marry him. He gets very hot-headed with her and she breaks up with him. The same day his friend is also dumped by his long time girl friend. They try to cheer up at the mall. This was a great movie, so go see it no matter what these other characters tell you.

Summary: Kevin's best...here's why:
Review: If I am ever in a bad mood, all I have to do is pop this movie in. Instantly, I feel much better. It's light hearted fun at it's absolute best.

When I saw Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back , the audience cheered when the name of the orangutan was revealed to be "Suzanne." How could you not like the movie that set that up?

ps. thank god they dropped the original "CNN sniper" opening.

Summary: Kevin Smith can do better than this.
Review: Wow, I gotta be frank with you: this film was pretty bad. Director Kevin Smith had a promising debut with "Clerks," but his follow-up is absolutely rancid. And one scene at the end of the film was downright offensive. This film may appeal to the 15-and-under crowd, but mature, well-rounded adults should definitely avoid this one.

Summary: A must see!
Review: Mallrats has no plot whatsoever and makes no sense at all, but it is quite possibly one of the best movies in the world! It's so freakin' funny that you don't even care that it has no credibility or base in real life. I reccomend to everyone...especially people who need to loosen up and relax a bit. So if you're in the mood for vulgar humor this is perfect

Summary: The bastard child of the New Jersey Trilogy
Review: Despite the scathing reviews of film critics and relatively poor box office receipts, Mallrats endures as one of the funniest if not THE funniest film Kevin Smith has ever penned/directed. Clerks was a brilliant low budget film, and many felt Kevin Smith fell into the sophomore jinx with his second film. Mallrats, is to me the pinnacle of his comedic writing. Brodie Bruce (Jason Lee) is the most powerful character in a menagerie of side-splitting faces that come and go throughout the film. Granted there isn't much of a plot to Mallrats, but to me that doesn't seem important to the progression of the film and its entertainment value.
