Best Kevin Smith Movie
I am a Kevin Smith fan and this is without a doubt my favorite of his movies. The dialouge is great, the acting is great, jay and silent bob are great, the movie is great. Brodie is one of my favorite characters of all time, in fact, I named my dog after him. A great, laugh out loud movie. Get it today.

So good someone stole it from me...damnit!
From the beginning credits (and the hilarious images of the characters as comic book heroes) to the conclusion (Jay and Silent Bob with "Suzanne") Mallrats is a laugh riot. I heard about it when it came out, but of course, it was rated R (I was only 16 at the time) and I couldn't see it. I lost track of it for a few years, then saw it in 1997, when I was in tech school in Mississippi. I can tell you, it was well worth the wait.

Mallrats occurs a day after the events in Clerks, the major differences being that it was in color (yeah, I hate black and white films, they hurt my eyes), it was on a much grander scale (as Kevin Smith had a bigger budget), and it was set in a mall instead of a Qwik Stop (hence, why it wasn't received as well). People who watch this film expecting to see "Clerks II", will be sorely disappointed, this is a totally different genre. Don't get me wrong, the crude jokes, pop culture references, and profanity are there, but there is better character development in this film. This movie was in trouble from the start, having to open in the same summer as "Batman Forever", "Braveheart", and "Congo", but as you know, the money for the studios doesn't stop with the box office (just look at The Rocky Horror Picture Show). True Kevin Smith fans will enjoy this film, as it continues the New Jersey Saga, you'll recognize the names of characters referenced in "Clerks" and later films. Jay and Silent Bob have longer, more humorous parts in Mallrats (much to my delight), a lot of their funniest dialogue is in the movie. I don't want to spoil it for you, watch the film!

The special features on the DVD are top notch! The original opening and deleted and extended scenes are included, and the standard trailers too. This is a great DVD, pick it up now!!!

Would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?
Kevin Smith hits the core teenage audience with a tough right hook in this film. The man says it how it is, not sugarcoated like Shes all That, Can't Hardly Wait, Ferris Bueller, Etc. It is crude, offensive, and downright funny. My only problem, real teenagers do not speak like this, adults are not even this articulate, thoughtgoing, and quickwitted as these characters, but hey, it is just a film. That is what makes it special and fun. We all know that a teenagers hangout during the day is the one and only local indoor shopping mall. Jay and silent Bob are the modern version of Cheech and Chong. The incredible vocabulary and fast witted Brodie,(Jason Lee), is perplexing and mesmerizing. I love this film. Love how the film relies on dialogue for its main comedic offer, no need for a ton of visual gags, although we do get them. The game show scene had me in tears, and the poor guy who can't see the boat in the hidden pic cracks me up. No top awards for this film, but it will leave a smile on your face. Grab some friends, beer, smokes(legal ones), Ha, and have a Kevin Smith good time. Also check out Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, personally the funniest and pokes fun of everything including the actors, their films, and Smith alike. Thank God for Kevin Smith in times like this.
