Mallrats on DVD (1995)

Hilarious

A customer from Cambridge , 20/09/2003

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].

Snoogan's!!!

A customer from England , 25/04/2004

I remember the first time I saw this film, late night showing on BBC2, I absolutely loved it, jay and silent bob became my new hero's.

It has been a long time since that first showing, and I decided to rent it out again to see if it was a s good as I remember, but it wasn't, it just didn't capture me the same as the first time.

It didn't seem quite as funny, some of the lines didn't seem to fit, they sounded like a script from Dawson's Creek.

It still made me laugh, and jay and silent bob are still a master piece.

I would recommend this film to everyone, its a nice feel good film, that still manages to break from the norm.

There are some brilliant set pieces, that will have you laughing out loud, and some great comic performances.

It may not seem as good as I first thought but I still give it 4 stars, so you can see how high I regarded it after my first viewing. I'm still going to buy it, and its still one of my favorite slacker movies.

Comedy Genius

Karpy from South Wales , 04/10/2006

This film is Jason Lee (Earl-My Name is Earl) at his best. Didn't stop laughing. Vastly underated film directed by Kevin Smith aka Silent Bob of Jay and Silent Bob! It has an allstar cast however they are much younger in this, watch if you like Clerks. The basic story invlolves a couple of guys break up with their girlfriends, the mall and the fight to regain their gilfriends.

Mallrats

Mike from Woking, England , 12/01/2007

Funnier than I'd heard, perhaps my viewing of this gained from the fact I was expecting nothing amazing. I was pleasantly surprised. Jason Lee ('My Name is Earl', 'Chasing Amy') makes up for an otherwise rather dull cast (with the exception of Jay and Silent Bob who are at their best). This isn't as good as 'Chasing Amy' and it's nothing like 'Dogma' in the slightest. It's basically 'Clerks' with a bigger budget, and as such it works in my eyes. Worth having a look definitely...

No Suprises, Another Great Job By Mr Smith

A customer from London , 10/07/2004

Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a Kevin Smith movie - great dialogue, silly situations and a host of funny characters. I wouldn't say this is as laugh-out-loud funny as Jay And Silent Bob Strikes Back but if you have any sort of a sense of humour you will enjoy this movie. I haven't seen Chasing Amy yet but it has to be said that every film I've seen made by this director I've greatly enjoyed. Watch all his stuff!
