Mallrats (1995)

Mallrats was early in Kevin Smith's career and you can see that the less budget Smith has to play with the better the film is. Set entirely in a mall this film has great characters, a free flowing screenplay filled with snappy dialogues and great direction by Smith. Everyone of Kevin Smith's entourage till then is there in some spades and there are some connections and gags that only a person well versed in Kevin Smith's Universe would understand. This is a great watch.

Second in line of ingenious achievements of Kevin Smith. Although with almost identical cast, it is completely different than Clerks and it's hard to decide which one is better. But this one is definitely funnier. I like this movie so much that even Shannen Doherty, whom I can not stand, becomes lovable in it. Smart, witty, entertaining, bunch of great actors and unforgettable quotes. Jay and Silent Bob, from supporting role, come closer to the first team and you simply have to love them. After this you can not wait to see them again in next movie. I want to rate it 10/10, but I have to at least try to maintain certain level of objectivity, cause this definitely isn't one of the best movies in history of cinematography. But one of dearest for sure. 8,5/10

This movies pretty funny although I can't remember it that well but I'll tell you about it anyways just because I can. These two guys go to a mall and do basically nothing except walk around and comment on the stores, the people, and themselves in witty sarcastic ways inspired by their observations of the vulgar and the profane. One guy, played by the guy who plays Earl in the TV show "My Name is Earl", doesn't give a s**t about anything, hates everything and finds joy in the existence of being miserable. He tries to convince the other guy that he is better off. But wait. Even though it's true there is a reason. That's because the other guy is just a whiny bitch who is there trying to figure out how to win his girlfriend back. The whiny bitch is somewhat necessary because he's like a lot of modern guys, trendy, useful and easy for most women (and employers) to put on a leash. He's probably considered handsome by most sluts (and fags (and employers)) and because of his girlfriend problem propels the plot or what little there is of it onward towards it's comically nihilistic though predictable ending. During the course of this affair all sorts of colorful, odd and even despicable characters cross their paths rendering entertaining doses of chaos and banality in equal measures. Tea anyone?

first off I've always like anything Shannon Doherty has been in every since Beverly Hills 90210. so that was the first reason I bought this film,, second Ben Affleck is always good to see what he's gonna do next in a movie, you never know,, third I figured a movie taking place in a shopping mall, what a good idea.. it's basically about a couple of guys who have ex-girlfriends now , and are trying to figure what to do next , either win them back or get on with their lives.. along the way they meet up with friends. and Stan Lee. this is a very quirky movie that will either be liked or disliked one way or the other there is really no middle ground to this point, I believe you don't need to be a stoner to like this movie at all, I really enjoyed Michael Rooker's performance here as well as a dad hosting a major TV show at the mall,, great dark humor and slapstick all the way.. loved this movie.
