Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Sophomore jinx hit hard in this second film by Kevin Smith, whose debut Clerks transcended the limits of its setting and budget to become something memorably funny. (Smith followed Mallrats with the wonderful Chasing Amy, so Mallrats definitely had the old curse.) A ramshackle comedy set in a mall, the film follows several story lines involving lovers, enemies, friends, goofballs, and Smith's own "silent" character, who also appeared in Clerks and Chasing Amy. 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 Jason Lee and Joey Lauren Adams. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Can't help liking it
I don't want to like this film. Really, I don't.

It's offensive and vulgar (don't let your kids see it, please). It features a 15-year-old girl who researches her book on sex by sleeping with a variety of men between 14 and 30 years old and videotaping the sessions. The Easter Bunny gets beaten up. And when Willem (Ethan Suplee) can't see the sailboat in the Magic Eye picture, he's mean to little children (a lot of the film seems to be mean to little children).

But there's ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cult Classic, Fun Engaging But Limited Audience
Like most cult classics either people really love the film or they tend to consider it a useless piece of trash with some viewers in the center unmoved by the controversy. This movie is no different.

The movie seems to cling to the romanticized backdrop of a mall where two slackers out of their luck regarding women spend their time trying to find something interesting to do. The story is complicated by the fact the main character's love interest is being forced to date another man for the ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not as bad as I've heard...
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 ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - sometimes u feel like a nut & sometimes u dont
This is a really lousy movie made up of crass, vulgar, toilet humor. I can't imagine how anyone could find this entertainment. The acting is totally second-rate and it looks like it was filmed with one of those old-fashioned "camcorders" that everyone had in the 70's and 80's. Even my two favorite stars, Priscilla Barnes & Shannen Doherty can't save this raw sewage.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Why buy the DVD when you can get the sex for free?
In keeping with the theme of going back to the well, Kevin Smith and the View Askew gang present the Mallrats 10th Anniversary Edition DVD. If you're an absolutely die hard fan of the movie, by all means buy this now and spend the remainder of your day with the DVD and some chocolate covered pretzels. If you're not, just stick to the Collector's Edition you have now.

I'm a huge fan of everything that Kevin Smith and Company have done over the last fourteen years, but I was honestly a bit disappointed ... Read More
