Another Kevin Smith Classic!
Mallrats is simply a day in the life for two Jersey boys, T.S. (Jeremy London) and Brodie (Jason Lee) as they putz around all day in a suburban mall while the girls who recently dumped them scamper about. The two guys encounter strange fellows like Jay (Jason Mewes), Silent Bob (director Kevin Smith), 15-year old sex author Trish the Dish (Renee Humphrey), 3-D visionally challenged Willam (Ethan Suplee) and many others. The point of the whole day of course is to win back the hearts of their ex-girlfriends (Claire Forlani & Shannon Doherty) before scumbags like Shannon Hamilton (Ben Affleck) get to have sex with them in very uncomfortable places.

Wait for the "Mallrats X" DVD coming later this year...
If you're an Askewniverse nut like me, you probably already know all the details, but for casual fans out there, this is just to let you know there's a 10th anniversary special edition DVD of "Mallrats" coming out later this year. Hold off on buying this out-of-print collector's edition if you don't already own it. However, if you do have this version, keep it on your shelf just in case they don't transfer all the features to the new disc. Truth be told, I don't see that being a problem, judging from the "Clerks X" DVD, which kept all the old features from the original release. Still, better safe than sorry though.

don't listen to the critics
Suffering a nearly unanimous beating from critics, and grossing a meer 2 million, Mallrats will always be an underappreciated gem. The second in The New Jersey "Trilogy" Mallrats focuses on T.S. and Brodie, two hapless fellows who were recently dumped by their girlfriends, so they take solace at their local mall. There they run into some old friends, such as Willam, a guy who does nothing than stare at the magic eye, their old friend from High School Gwen, and of course Jay and Silent Bob. Brodie is trying to believe that he's over his old girlfriend Rene, while T.S. is still hung over about his old girlfriend Brandi. T.S. won't give up trying to win Brandi back, so he thinks that he should try and wreck her father's game show. Jay and Silent Bob decide to do that, while Brodie and T.S. wander around the mall. They discuss Superman's sex life, where the food court is exactly, and get kicked out of the mall. That event takes them to the dirt mall, where probably the funniest scene in the movies. Yes, I'm talking about the topless fortune teller scene, where T.S. makes a breakthrough about his past relationship, but where Brodie is just repulsed. Underrated, but wonderful. Yeah, Jeremy London [T.S.] isn't very good at acting but Jason Lee is hilarious as Brodie. How could the critics not like this movie? It's not nearly as crude as Clerks, but critics hated it. There are some thinks that I'll never understand. Since it went out of print, it's kinda hard to find a copy, but try and get a hold of it. Or you could wait to buy the X Anniverary edition later this year, but I don't when it's coming out.
