    Sophomoric silliness.

    The movie is a piece of junk...However, it's also immensely likable and hysterically, irreverently funny.

    Mallrats mixes clever bits and an appealing quirkiness (which goes a long way) with gross-out practical jokes, needless repetition and obvious padding, since it has no real plot. [20 Oct 1995]

    "Clerks" spoke with the sure, clear voice of an original filmmaker. In Mallrats the voice is muffled, and we sense instead advice from the tired, the establishment, the timid and other familiar Hollywood executive types.

    Snootchie bootchies. I love this film. I mean, I actually drink my Dew out of a Dixie cup now that I've watched it. And every time I watch it, it never got old. I like how its jokes don't get in the way of the story, and the character of Brodie Bruce (played by Jason Lee) made me laugh my ass off with every one of his lines. Overall, this movie may be underrated, but I say you should check it out. (PS: The only problem? The marketing)… Expand

    This movie changed my life. I love everything about it. Jason Lee alone was worth the 10. I love every line he says, and he does it so well. Overall i think it's Smith's best movie, but I guess i'm biased cause this reminded me of my life and friends. Anyway if you liked Clerks or Dogma I do think you'll like this.… Expand

    1st Of All Great Cast!
    Although My Review Is Not A 10.. The Movie Is Still Good.
    The Acting Alone Would Be Worth A 10 (Even Shannen Doherty) B    ut Some Of The Jokes Seem Forced On.. And Not Really A Bunch Of Effort Put Into The Script..
    The Acting Makes Up For The Plot.
