Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Diagonaldi Very well executed

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

antoniasnyder Mallrats was early in Kevin Smith's career and you can see that the less budget Smith has to play with the better the film is. Set entirely in a mall this film has great characters, a free flowing screenplay filled with snappy dialogues and great direction by Smith. Everyone of Kevin Smith's entourage till then is there in some spades and there are some connections and gags that only a person well versed in Kevin Smith's Universe would understand. This is a great watch.

SnoopyStyle College student T.S. Quint (Jeremy London) plans to go on a Florida trip with Brandi Svenning (Claire Forlani) but she has to fill in on her father's TV show. They argue and break up. His insensitive friend Brodie Bruce (Jason Lee) gets dumped by his girlfriend Rene Mosier (Shannen Doherty). They go to the local mall and discover that the show is being filmed there. Brodie recruits Jay and Silent Bob to disrupt the show.When compared to his first film, this Kevin Smith movie is sillier and poorer. Some of it plays like Home Alone. He's never been a visual master and this is very much in that vein. The movie is filled with Smith's love of comics and other childish gags. It's got some memorable characters like Tricia Jones, the teen Masters and Johnson. Jay and Silent Bob have become cartoon characters. Lee and Doherty are trying but London is a dud. If Smith wants wacky comedy, London is the blackhole in the middle sucking the fun out of everything.

Floated2 Mallrats is the second major film directed and written by Kevin Smith. Mallrats at the time was criticized as one of his worst films. The result is generally the same (gross-out gags, silly jokes, intelligent- speaking college-age teens who talk about nothing but modern culture (as in "entertainment"), a constant stream of profanity and vulgarity)Mallrats has a very think yet simple plot. Has Brodie (Jason Lee), and his friend T.S. (Jeremy London) being broken up by their respective girlfriends, Brandi (Claire Forlani) and Rene (Shannen Doherty). So they decide to hang out at the mall. They eventually end up meeting characters Jay and Silent Bob, as well as their ex-girlfriends. The film is predictable as in it is ultimately tat they will win back their girlfriends, but the quest is how they do it, and their obstacles along the way. In which, they end up on a game show. The finale is somewhat dis interesting, although it provides for entertainment.Mallrats provides some entertainment, but in general of rewatching the film, I have found many of the jokes and gags to be cheesy, outdated, and general not funny. === As a rewatch 07/05/18' Mallrats remain quite a forgettable and unfunny comedy. There are some pieces of entertainment but as a whole, the film feels very off, awkward and outdated. The lead characters are both quite unlikable and selfish and the comedy just in't funny in the slightest.

david-sarkies After seeing this movie all I can really say is that Kevin Smith has a really weird sense of humour. The humour of Clerks is still here in Mallrats, but the language has been toned down a bit so that the movie receives only an MA rating instead of the R rating that Clerks received.Mallrats is similar to Clerks in that it deals with relationships. There are numerous similarities, namely that the good things are the ones that we tend to let go of. Jay and Silent Bob are here and play a much more active role, and the weird philosophical discussions, such as how Lois Lane cannot have Superman's babies because Kryptonite babies would probably kill her, are also here. One major difference though is that Mallrats is a much more expensive film and it shows. Mallrats is in colour, is set in a Mall, and has a lot of extras. Kevin Smith winds the entire movie up with a big dating game, and even has a comic book writer make a cameo appearance (which is not surprising considering this guy was probably Smith's hero).Mallrats seems to be like the Bill and Ted's movies in that way that it ends with a big extravaganza in front of a huge audience. There are antagonists in this movie as well. Le Four the security guard, and the father of an ex-girlfriend who is hosting a dating game in which he is giving away his daughter because the previous contestant died of an embolism while trying to loose weight for the show. It is also interesting that the characters are also similar. We have one loud mouthed guy who seems to have a response for everything, and a humbler guy who is more or less led around by the louder guy. This time though they are both trying to win back their girlfriends while trying to defeat the forces stopping them.Mallrats deals mainly with relationships and why they break up. It is also interesting how the comic book writer says that his worst mistake was giving up his girlfriend for the comic books. It makes us think what is important in our lives, our relationships or our material goods. This guy says that the worst mistake he made was to place material goods over relationships. Even though he had heaps of women in the future, it wasn't worth giving up a genuine relationship for. This is what makes me think because there is only one thing worth giving up a relationship for and that is God. Everybody says that women are not worth it but a true, loving relationship should be far more important than any job, or material goods. A relationship with God is worth more than anything because God wants one with us, and who is it to say no to the most powerful being in the universe. The more I think about material wealth, the more I come to see how pointless it all is.I still wonder if Kevin Smith is a Christian or not because even though he thanks God for making the movie possible, the stuff that we find in the movie is really something that would dishonour God immensely. Things like showing naked breasts and rampant sex in an elevator. Even sex with a fifteen year old girl, though that guy that does it is arrested for it. Personally I think Smith might be quite liberal in his faith, but when it comes down to it, only God knows where we are at.
