Product Description
BOTH DUMPED BY THEIR GIRLFRIENDS, TWO BEST FRIENDS SEEK REFUGEIN THE LOCAL MALL.
Amazon.com
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

 how does Kevin Smith do it? January 30, 2010
E. Soler Jr. (Bronx, New York)
Kevin Smith has got to be a genius for coming up with such great characters. Ever since I saw "Jay and Silent Bob strike back" I became a fan of Kevin Smith's movies and mostly bought them all. However, these movies are only good when the person watching it has a sense of humor. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys Kevin Smith movies or just anyone who is looking for a good laugh.
Underrated October 2, 2009
Matthew Allard (Cleveland, OH)
This is one of Kevin Smith's funniest films, and definitely the most underrated.
Truly a time capsule of a film, Mallrats is very "90's": Sega, comic books, and just malls in general help paint an almost endearing portrait of 90's consumerism at its funniest.
This film is no landmark, but it is very funny and, if nothing else, introduced us to the comic genius of Jason Lee.
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.
