Mallrats
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

The laid-back, inconsequential humour of Smith's first film, Clerks, wears thin here in a similar, but much more conventional, outing.

Not for everyone
Although 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 ... read more »

Smith offended Garner with Affleck gags
- 20 Jun 2009
Director Kevin Smith got on the wrong side of his Catch And Release co-star Jennifer Garner - after he ridiculed her husband Ben Affleck when he visited the set. Smith, who is a longtime pal of Affleck's after directing him in 1995 cult hit Mallrats, eagerly mocked his friend when the actor came to watch his wife's scenes on the 2006 movie. But Garner obviously didn't understand the nature of their playful relationship - and threatened to beat up Smith if he continued to belittle her partner.... Read more
