Amazon.co.uk Review

The "sophmore jinx" hit hard for this second film by Kevin Smith, whose debut Clerks transcended the limits of its setting and budget to become memorably funny and a cult classic. (Smith followed Mallrats with the wonderful Chasing Amy, only to be cursed again with the appalling Dogma. Clearly he's settling into the same one-off rhythm that afflicts the Star Trek movies.) A ramshackle comedy set in a mall, Mallrats follows several storylines involving lovers, enemies, friends, goofballs, and Smith's own character "Silent Bob", who also appeared in all the other Smith films. 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 Ben Affleck before he was famous, Jason Lee and Joey Lauren Adams. --Sally Chatsworth

4.0 out of 5 stars Underated, 1 Mar 2003
By Mr. M. J. Birch "Matt B" (WGC, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mallrats [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
Too many people write this film off, claiming its the weakest of all Kevin Smith films....and I still don't know why! Admittedly, one of the central characters, TS, is feeble but that is made up for by the presence of Jason Lee as Brodie. Brodie is hilarious as a selfish, sega loving, bad boyfriend and attaches great importance to 'the mall' as well as Stan Lee's comics.
Kids getting caught in the escalator, making Brodie's fears come true, Silent Bob and Jay attacking the Easter bunny and getting attacked by dozens of kids in return, Ben Affleck as an anally obsessed store manager (wearing a hideous Burtons-style suit), its full of memorable and hilarious moments.
Like 'Clerks' the film really is about nothing, and maybe it does dwell a little on serious relationships and self obsession (TS irritates as well as somehow managing to be a superficial character in the film).
Don't compare it to Clerks or Chasing Amy, its just different!...

4.0 out of 5 stars Stupid and funny, 25 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Mallrats [DVD] [1995] (DVD)
This film is excellent, and it's easy to see why Kevin Smith and his J and Silent Bob characters are such cult figures. Very funny from start to finish.
Top performances from pretty much everyone. Jason Lee has had a good few major films under his belt now (Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky for example), but he really shines as the hilarious comic-book obsessed Brodie. Jay and Silent Bob turn in, as usual, a highly amusing performance, with imitating quotes galore. Joey Lauren Adams is excellent as the blonde bimbo, and Claire Forlani is just as good as the pressured "daddy's girl". Ben Affleck debuts and is the subject of much mockery as the giant bully who proceeds to terrorise Lee and steal his girlfriend, Shannon Doherty. But Jeremy London is poor - in fact, even though he's the main character the viewer ends up getting annoyed with his introspectiveness.
The DVD extras are lame. Unless you're a DVD perfectionist there's no real difference between the VHS and DVD extras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Say, Would YOU Like a Chocolate Covered Pretzel?, 14 Mar 2004
If you only learn one thing in life let it be this: Critics do't always get it right. Go with your feelings as to wether you will enjoy something and you will probably be correct. Critics HATED this film,and yey here it is still selling 10 years later. Kevin Smith is a genius in my book, but had I listened to those damn critics I may never have realised as he still gets very little coveage in the UK. I love this kind of thing! The humour is so sharp and the film is like a cartoon or comic. Check this out and enjoy.
