Product Description
TWO HIGH SCHOOL GRADS LOSE THEIR GIRLFRIENDS AND GO TO ALL LENGTHS TO WIN THEM BACK. SEEKING RECOVERY AND REGENERATION WITHIN THE COMFORTING CONFINES OF THE MALL, THE TWO FRIENDS ELICIT THE HELP OF THEIR RADICALLY DELINQUENT FRIENDS, LEADING TO A SERIES OF MEMORABLE MISADVENTURES.

Sophomore jinx hit hard in this second film by Kevin Smith, whose debut Clerks transcended the limits of its setting and budget to become something memorably funny. (Smith followed Mallrats with the wonderful Chasing Amy, so Mallrats definitely had the old curse.) A ramshackle comedy set in a mall, the film follows several story lines involving lovers, enemies, friends, goofballs, and Smith's own "silent" character, who also appeared in Clerks and Chasing Amy. A heavy self-consciousness weighs on everything, as if Smith forgot how to make obscenity funny instead of tedious. Still, it's nice to see some of the director's film family on screen, among them Jason Lee and Joey Lauren Adams. --Tom Keogh

 The Sleeper hit of the 90s March 27, 2009
Samuel Rivera (New York)
Being a very hard critic of comedy films, I hope that people take that into concideration when I call this film a great comedy with memorable Characters, excellent dialogue, and a stellar cast.
The film is built around the premise of two friends who lose their girlfriends the same day and spend the rest of the film trying to get them back. This is all played out with the local mall as the the backdrop. As I said before, the characters are memorable. Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith whose also the director)are scene steelers. I defy anyone not to memorize the phrase "Snootchie Bootchie Nootchies". As for the rest of the cast Ben Afleck is a credible villan. Shannon Doherty is in prime form. Jeremy London(TS) is hilarious and Jason Lee as Brodie puts in a legendary performance. Its rude, Its crude, but its also a comedy gem.

The Bottom Line:
One of Kevin Smith's lesser works, Mallrats sometimes suffers from poor acting (though admittedly it's hard to make Smith's hyper-cool dialogue sound spontaneous) and isn't terribly well plotted, but it's a reasonably entertaining film.
MALLRATS RULES! September 30, 2008
Warren F. Lachow (FL)
The movie is great. The extendend edition explains a little better the final cut. Watch both!

Any fan of Kevin Smith knows that all his movies link or reference each other in some form. This is a quintessential piece to the collection. My boyfriend would probably give this 5 stars. I am being a tad reserved, only because I am a bigger fan of other Kevin Smith movies more. First of all being Clerks...the best! Also love Dogma, Chasing Amy...actually, I love all of them!
