    Kevin Smith's worst film, even worse the jersey girl, it's hard to believe he did it.

    Kevin Smith rocks, but this one is his worst movie. Check out his others instead.

    Alot of people didn't like this movie. They thought it was stupid, and average at best. But, personally, I thought it was really good. I mean, it isn't the best Kevin Smith movie ever made, but definetly not the worst. I laughed so much through the movie, my eyes started watering! It was some funny stuff. I say the highlights of the movie are Jason Lee's absolutley hysterical performance as Brody and Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith as Jay and Silent Bob (one of the funniest duo's ever made). This film really isn't for people searching for a dignified plot, because it really doesn't have one. It is pretty much about two friends, T.S. (Jeremy London) and Brody (Jason Lee), who hang out at the mall during the course of one day, after being dumped by their girlfriends. There they try to win back their girlfriends. Brody tries to keep his girlfriend, Rene (Shannen Doherty) from being made love to in "a very uncomfortable place" by her new boyfriend (Ben Affleck) who is the manager of a classy clothing store. T.S. tries to win back his girlfriend, Brandi (Claire Forlani) because her father (Michael Rooker) made her leave him, by destroying her father's live t.v. reality show, where Brandi must choose a mystery man to date. The film has interesting and very comical dialogue and is a very fun movie by me. I would recommend this movie to any Kevin Smith fans, or anybody just looking for a funny, silly and sick comedy to watch. (2/17/03) 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.

    The greatest slacker movie of all time, nothing beats Kevin Smith`s mall-epic.

    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) But 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. 7

    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

    Mallrats is funny, but overall forgettable, save for two memorable quotes ("Would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?" and "Like the back of a Volkswagen?"). I seem to recall enjoying it, but I can't seem to pick out what I enjoyed about it. Still, it's worth a watch if you're into View Askewniverse.

  1. The slapstick would put Curly and Moe to shame. The raunch is crude as often as it is clever.
  2. I'm guessing even die-hard "Clerks" fans will find this only-in-America stuff only partially satisfying, like something they gorged on at the Eatery, then wished they hadn't.

    A hopelessly stupid movie that should appeal to baked couch potatoes everywhere.
