Mallrats (1999, DVD)

Anyone who knows Kevin Smith also knows Jay and Silent Bob (who are in this movie). A very funny movie about a guy whos girlfriend breaks up with him and what he will do to get her back. Most of the movie is inside of a mall (hint to the title). The whole movie keeps you laughing and you learn something about comic books too. The cast is great and includes Kevin Smith, Jason Lee, and Ben Affleck. I give this movie two thumbs up!

I saw little clips of it on myspace and i decided to buy it. The movie was funny, i had a lot of laughs and Jay and Silent Bob are funny.

Well if you like Kevin Smith movies then you have to pick up one of his classic films. It is a lil low budget put the comedy is A+. Simply put just buy it.

I purchased this dvd to complete my collection of Kevin Smith films. I had not seen it and was curious to see if the unfavorable reviews were deserved. As Kevin Smith films go, this one is a little weak. The plot is a little too silly to be taken seriously, but, Jay and Silent Bob are always worth the price of admission. Stan Lee's cameo is fun to watch. While Mallrats is not in the same league as Dogma or Chasing Amy, It has its moments and the little inside jokes make sense if you own the other buddy films. Recommended for Kevin Smith fans and anyone wanting a 90 minute diversion from reality.

Like: zany jokes, characters, and plot.
Love: random nudity
Dislike: the gayness of the love store entwined in the plot.

Love the older kevin Smith flicks. Mallrats is a must have for all Smith fans...not too commercialized like his later films This one is surpassed only by the original Clerks. Yes, I'm a purist and am Chasing Randall ;-)

After I saw Clerks II (what a Riot!!) friends told me to see Clerks I and Mallrats I could not find them at our local Walmart so managed to get them both (CHEAP) on Ebay. MallRats reminded me a little of ClerksII/Dogma. I thought the movie was pretty funny for a low budget flick, not something to watch with your kids/parents (for us 40 somethings).

If you are a Kevin Smith fan, then you will want to put Mallrats into your collection. I rated it good, because he did not include all of the characters from Clerks. The actors and characters that did make it in did do a good job in their parts.
There are some nice cameo appearances and our hood rat duo; Jay & Silent Bob our back in action. Jay & Silent Bob fans will not be disappointed, since they get a lot of camera time.
Clerks fans be warned, Dante and my favorite Randall, did not make it into this one. Actor Brian O’halloran (Dante) does make an appearance as Suitor #3 on the game show, but he isn’t playing Dante. You can tell that Jason Lee (Brodie Bruce) was the one that got Randall’s lines.
All in all it’s a good movie and is a cult classic. If you are a Kevin Smith fan, then you do need this one in your collection.
On a side note, make sure you pick up Clerks II. It is excellent.

Mallrats is a fun movie to watch with friends and talk about times back in the day. This collectors editin has extra footage and commentaries that captures the early careers of many popular actors. I really like to watch the parts with Kevin Smith at Silent Bob.

Almost as fun as watching this movie is to listen to the audio commentary track with Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, and others. While it's great to listen to them critique their own film, it's fun to hear them joke and chat with each other. If you want a deeper appreciation for the Viewaskewniverse, listen to that extra audio!

I bought this movie for my daughter for Christmas. This is one of her favorite movies and it is part of a series. The humor may be a little dry for some, but once you watch all the movies that are a part of it, it will begin to make sense. I also purchased, clerks, clerks 2, dogma, chasing amy and jay and silent bob strike back to complete teh series for her.

It was an efficient transaction, I had no problems with the seller. The seller packed the dvd well and sent it out very fast, I would recomend this seller to others.

BEST MOVIE EVER! The best is the THRIPPLE! You have got to see this movie! Remember to show show the kitty some love!

I love all the Kevin Smith movies! This one just adds to me and my boyfriends combined collection. The movies are great and will continue to add to them.

I bought this movie because I'm a good fan of Kevin Smith's other work, I had already seen the movie and knew it was good, and the mall that it was shot in is a mall I actually used to go to quite a bit. Like the movie title hints at, a vast major of it takes place in a mall. It stars some famous actors like Ben Afflec, Stan Lee, former pro skateboarder and founder of Stereo Skateboards, Jason Lee, and of course Kevin Smith "Silent Bob" and Jason Mewes "Jay", as well as a few others people may recognize when they see them. THe plot is simple; a couple guys get dumped by their girlfriends and decide to just go hang out at the mall. While at the mall, they notice that there is a dating game show being hosted, in which they see they can try to get their girlfriends back. For a little while of the movie, they try to sceme up a way that they can be on the dating show themselves. This movie is a hilarious movie, especially if you are a fan of Kevin Smith and his characters "Jay & Silent Bob", because I think that Mallrats has one of the best "Jay & Silent Bob" performances to date. I definately recommend this movie for a BUY if you are a fan of Kevin Smith, but if your not, I still would say check it out some time; rent it, borrow it from a friend, but watch it at least once.

thank you for the timely response. the movie arived as advertized.keep you the good work.I have been trying to get all the works of Keven Smith ,I am one movie closer.

This movie is great! At least that is what I might have said about it, had I ever gotten it. But here I am, writting a review on a movie I never recieved and ebay nows it because I filed a claim with them. But hey, none of that matters to them because they make their money whether I get screwed over or not. Safe and secure online auctions, heh thats laughable.
