Buy This Item Mallrats [HD DVD] by Universal Studios Home Entertainment  Available from Amazon  $13.95  on 9-23-2008     From Kevin Smith, the acclaimed director of Clerks, comes this outrageous story of two loafers, Jeremy London (The Babysitter) and Jason Lee (Kissing a Fool), who spend way too much time hanging out at the mall. When Brodie (Lee) is dumped by his girlfriend, Shannen Doherty (Heathers, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun), he retreats to the mall with his best friend T.S. (London), whose girlfriend has also left him. Between brooding and visits to the food court, the unmotivated twosome decide to win their girlfriends back with the help of the ultimate delinquents, Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) and Jay (Jason Mewes), whose continuing adventures take the word "nuisance" to a whole new level. Reader Reviews Mallrats (1995) - Kevin Smith It seems that out of all of Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob films, this one has received the most negative reviews. Even my favorite film critic, Roger Ebert, gave this a 1 1/2 stars out of 4. Personally, I can't see why. Sure, it's not Kevin Smith's best film (that award goes to either Clerks or Chasing Amy), and its definitely not a great film, but its also not nearly as bad as a lot of critics make it out to be. I find the dialogue relatively witty, the interplay between the characters fun, and the minor romantic elements charming, at the least. Yes, the plot is relatively vapid, the acting is bad, and the overall refinement is a little lacking. However, I feel that all of it just adds to the overall charm. Thus, I would recommend that one at least check it out before immediately dismissing it.
