I don't give a flying fuck about Kevin Smith. In fact, fuck Kevin Smith. Fuck him and his piss-dribbling fan boys and his stupid friends that he puts in his movies. Jason Lee? I've seen more character in a rutabaga. And watching Claire Forlani "act" is like watching a retarded kid bathe... it just feels wrong.

This is the first Kevin Smith film I ever watched and my second favorite after Clerks. Jason Lee's delivery and comedic timeing is great here. I'm a little surprised by the hatred of this film by some. Kevin Smith invented the slacker manchild before Judd Apitow was even heard of.

There isn't much I like about this movie, or Kevin Smith's movies in general. Here he gets in some decent jokes every now and then and Jay and Silent Bob are sometimes amusing, but other than that this is just pointless and forgettable.

If Clerks focused more on physical comedy and less on dialogue, you would get this film. Something small yet significant is lost in that tradeoff, making Clerks the better film, but Mallrats is still no slouch in the laughs department.

Jason Lee is the standout here in an otherwise unmemorable feature. London is pretty painful to watch, the main love story is silly and uninteresting. Some of the minor characters (Jay and Silent Bob, Lafours) are pretty funny, though.

This movie features a camio by Stan Lee, and is a romp much like Kevin's other movies. It explores the troubles of youth, relationships, and evil dirrectors.

Kevin Smith is a god. Brodie is one of the best characters ever!!! He is both dispicable and lovable at the time. This movie opened up a window for small, independent directors to make great movies with low budgets and get the recognition they deserve. If it wasn't for this movie, many people would have missed Clerks.

It felt a bit forced compared to 'Clerks', I mean a bigger budget, "actors" and a more thought out plot. But I think it was the spontaneity & originality of the first movie that was lacking here. It's definitely a lot more PC too, which was kind of annoying. Pretty forgettable stuff.

Struck a certain chord with me when I saw it as a semi-nerdy teenager. Not sure it would have the same effect now as a slightly nerdy adult. It's worth noting that Kevin Smith always draws out Jason Lee's best work.

Next 2 Clerks - its poverty-stricken twin - this proves audiences will forgive (& embrace) anything as long as u make them laugh, b/c even though this is a better-acted, better-looking, pricier reboot ("Dante" & "Randall" are in a mall now), it's nowhere near as funny & therefore, pales in comparison to its predecessor. Given the 2 films' overwhelming similarities & so many variables being controlled for, this also proves - all things even being UNEQUAL - nothing is more important than script.

Parts of this movie were hilarious, and the sidekick character was generally entertaining, but the main character and his relationship with his girlfriend and her father was boring and I never cared about it at all. Worth watching for the funny parts, and nothing terrible, but overall not a great movie.

Much-maligned Smith sophomore effort still doesn't work (even in the altered "extended version") because Smith is striking an uneasy compromise between freewheeling nerdgasms (which worked so well in CLERKS), while trying to fashion a solid narrative arc, which his characters stubbornly resist. There's some great stuff here in isolation (Smith and Mewes are clearly having a ball and the Doherty-Lee relationship is well wrought) but the revue format quickly becomes tiresome.

If you like Smith's comedy there's a ton to enjoy. Unfortunately, the whole thing is really amateurish and drags a lot. The central characters are actually the least interesting part of the movie, which is never a good sign.

Slackers spend a day chilling out at the mall after getting ditched by their girlfriends and wacky hijinx ensue. Nothing life changing, just a decent stupid comedy with some typically sharp writing from Smith.

Smith's sophomore work is an unheralded masterpiece ode to slackerism, just like Clerks before it. Jason Lee lights up the screen and allows us to forget about the mediocraty around him (a la Jeremy London and Shannon Doherty.)

A completely underrated comedy by the arbiter of suburban hipness and angst, Kevin Smith. The writing snaps and crackles like a dry log on a raging fire as we follow the mis adventures of 2 NJ slackers. Reeling from the sudden (almost simultaneous) dumpings by their girlfriends, Brodie and TS seek solace in the on place they know they can - The Mall. Chaos, crazy characters and hilarity ensue!

Smith famously apologized for this, but that's a little much. No need to apologize. This is by no means an atrocity, but it IS VERY different in style and tone than "Clerks"...and the comparisons are not favorable for "Rats". Still, there are some amusing moments here, and we get our first extended look at the talents of Jason Lee. He'd be better utilized in "Chasing Amy", of course.
