Hilarious
By a customer from Cambridge , 20 Sep 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
Quite simply one of the funniest movies ever made. Mallrats is the second installment of the New Jersey Saga in which is directed by comedic mastermind Kevin Smith. I loved this movie; it's a great element of just having fun and it teaches you that a good movie doesn't have to have a great storyline. The plot is about T.S. Quint (Jason London) and Brodie Bruce (Jason Lee) are best friends and both have girl problems. T.S.'s girlfriend, played by Claire Forlani who is really hot, breaks up with T.S. because he isn't supposedly true to her and Brodie has a girl, who is played by Shannon Doherty, who's had relations with him and is tired of his antics, so she goes out with a preppie, who's name is Shannon Hamilton played by Ben Affleck. So Brodie and T.S. go to the mall to relieve their problems and come to see a wide variety of hilarious characters. For example, Jay and Silent Bob, who is played by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith himself. These two stoners help T.S. and Brodie win back their girlfriends by pulling out a scheme at a premiere game show being televised at the mall. In this, they pull an interesting way to get back their girlfriends and save the day as the king of the mall.
The movie is hilarious and Brodie Bruce played by Jason Lee is probably the funniest character in the movie, plus all the other people are funny as hell, too. I give this movie an 8 out of 10 because of pure fun, entertainment and comedy.
If you like Mall Rats, you may also wish to hire [Clerks], [Chasing Amy], [Dogma] [Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back].- Was this review helpful to you?

(35)Not for everyone
By a customer , 17 Aug 2011Although I am a child/teenager of the 90's, this is one of those films that should really have been left behind in the 90's. Soooo cheesy, so dated and sooooo booooring. That's not to say you shouldn't watch it though, it's just not my thing and I would definitely not watch it again. Although I did warm to the legendary characters of Jay and Silent Bob, which is what earned the film the one star in my eyes.- Was this review helpful to you?

Bong!
By SteveBent (99 reviews) from Tring , 25 Jul 2008This guy. This unbelievable guy. He makes massive waves with his self financed DIY movie. Becomes one of the hottest names in the industry and has options a plenty for his next move... What does he do? Makes a stoner comedy set in a shopping mall full of superhero jokes and still casts his mates.
And it bombs...
Mallrats is a folly for sure. It's almost impossible for anyone who isn't a white male born in the late 70's with a bit of a sic fi nerdy past to understand fully. It's chock full of smutty puns and in jokes and plays like a string of wordy skits strung together with Cheech and Chong out takes. And the acting is awful.
But don't let that put you off. Mallrats is perfect for repeat viewing. Dense with zingers, huge on dumb clever slapstick and for once frothy light weight fun from the generation that was defined by Slacker.
Kevin Smith is a fine writer, a very funny man and a stubborn auteur of his own genre. Chasing Amy has problems with seriousness, Dogma with Action and Jay And Silent Bob with not being Clerks II. Mallrats is in a league of it's own.- Was this review helpful to you?

mallrats .. the first
By Ellie (44 reviews) from Stanley , 08 Apr 2008Mall rats was Kevin Smith's first film. It is kinda visible but by god that guy can write good movies. This is the same sorta thing as jay + silent bob strike back ,,, you leave your brain at the door and just laugh at the absurd slapstick and crude jokes. Its fantastic!- Was this review helpful to you?

Great fun, no brainer movie
By Jenniferv82 (37 reviews) from Tywyn , 19 Mar 2008This movie had a bad rep when it was released, although, I don't know why? Its great fun! Its full of great one liners, interesting and crude conversations, and Jay and Silent Bob. What more good you want in a movie???
If you are a big fan of Clerks, then you'll enjoy the references and the cameos from Clerks stars. Clue: look at the guys Brodi fights with in the comic book que.- Was this review helpful to you?

Rubbish, Rubbish, Rubbish
By Steve Broadfoot from Liverpool UK , 14 Aug 2007I would like to use stronger words to describe the time I wasted watching this piece of crap. Save yourself the embarassment and give this a wide berth. If you want a laugh hire Laurel & Hardy, Benny Hill or On the Buses any of these titles are a million times better than this piece of excrement. Jay and Silent Bob are about as funny as finding out you have a malignant tumour. I only gave it 1 star because it is not possible to
give a zero or minus as this deserves- Was this review helpful to you?
