Product Description
Director Kevin Smith's sophomore effort is bigger and more farcical than CLERKS but at its center remains the story of two guys who know a lot about STAR WARS and comic books and all-too-little about women. T.S. (Jeremy London) has just been dumped by girlfriend Brandi (Claire Forlani) while Brodie has finally played too many games of Sega hockey for Rene (Shannen Doherty). The boys go to the mall to console themselves around establishments such as Burning Flesh tanning salon Rug Munchers carpet outlet and Buy Me Toys but they can't seem to stay out of trouble. Their misadventures finally come to focus around Brandi's involvement in a DATING GAME-like show being taped in the mall. While trying to win back their respective girlfriends the duo manage to do quite a bit of damage with the aid of Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) who have even less to do on a Saturday in suburban New Jersey than T.S. and Brodie. Smith's ability to evoke the settings of his youth is as sharp and unerring as ever while most of the ensemble delights in chewing the scenery--especially Michael Rooker as Brandi's game-show producer father and Ben Affleck as a slacker-hating thug.When a couple of well-meaning slackers T.S. (Jeremy London) and Brodie (Jason Lee) lose their girlfriends they set about trying to reclaim their pride (and their ladies) in the most obvious of places--the mall. Once there the pair push the limits of decency and mall etiquette encountering an array of mall denizens including Jay and Silent Bob from CLERKS and legendary comic book creator Stan Lee. A surprising number of misadventures ensue bringing the boys the possibility of regaining their lady loves.Runtime: 96 minutesFormat: DVD HD Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 025193294425 Manufacturer No: 61032944

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!
