Mallrats | Year: 1995 Classification: Comedy Actors/Actresses: - Ben Affleck - Claire Forlani - Jason Lee - Shannen Doherty - Jeremy London Slackers Rule The Mall Kevin Smith's second film in "the Jersey trilogy", MALLRATS centers around two budddies, who spend too much time, hanging out at the mall. T.S. (Jeremy London) and Brodie (Jason Lee) have recently been dumped by their girlfriends. The friends decide to try and win them back by making a trip to the mall, where Brodie's girl, Rene (Shannen Doherty) and T.S.'s girl, Brandi (Claire Forlani) will be as well. Along the way, the boys meet up with Spiderman creator Stan Lee (playing himself), and this being a Smith film, Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith), make a spirited return after CLERKS. The film has that great View Askew take on life. As usual though, it's Lee, who gets all the best lines. By having a few characters from CLERKS return, the films are (loosely) tied together, and even introduce us to what the future holds for some in CHASING AMY. Don't let that stop you though, the movie works fine as a stand alone. Critics have said the film was not quite as good as Smith's first film--it's just different--that's all. The Collector's Edition DVD has another winning commentary from Smith et al. There's over 60 minutes of deleted scenes from the cutting room floor. Some of which are really funny, while others are not, a mixed, but worthwhile bag. The extras also include footage fom the commentary recording session, a making of feturette, the clever theatrical trailer, a video from the soundtrack, and a handful of production photographs. This disc is a must for fans of Kevin Smith Recommended. SILENT BOB IS BACK ON THE ESCALATOR Mallrats did horribly at the box office. This fact is undisputable. However this movie has heart. It gets funnier the more you watch it. However if you don't like comics, sci fi movie references and dialogue about anything and everything this movie is not for you. The DVD collectors edition is a gem. There is over an hour of deleted scenes. In fact a whole subplot that got cut because it din't quite work. Commentary throughout the movie with Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes(Jay), Ben Affleck(Shannon) and Jason Lee(Brodie). Well worth it to hear them banter between themselves. You can tell they had a great time makin this movie. It shows in the film as well. This is definately a four star movie and with all the extras it goes straight to five stars. Hey at least Mallrats will make money on video since it bombed at theatres. Snoochie Boochies. Halarious I don't care who says this movie bad. I don't care how many peopel think it sucks. I think it's awesome. By far the best Jay and Silent movie. I like it cause it's funny and there isn't too much swearing or annoying stuff. Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back is funny to but annoying cause Jay is the main character and as a result of that. There is way too much swearing. I like Jay and Bob but they make more better back up characters. Jason Less is great. Yeah some parts of this are dumb but I love it cause it's filmed in my home state. Minnesota. The land of the hot blondes. Anybody who is from Minnesota know what I"m talking about. If you want a funny movie that is original and has a good story. Buy this movie.
