Beautiful, moving film.
... View MoreGreat movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View More"Mallrats" (1995) was Kevin Smith's second feature after acclaimed "Clerks". It's not as funny and well written but surely has its moments.Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes again play Jay and Silent Bob, who first appeared in "Clerks." In the centre of the story, however, we find characters TS Quint and Brodie, played by Jeremy London and Jason Lee, respectively. Much like Brian O'Halloran's and Jeff Anderson's characters in "Clerks", they just hang around, not doing much, except trying to work out their love problems. Instead of a small grocery store, this time the centre of action is a shopping mall -- the logical next step?
... View MoreIf the writing was a little better at the start, I would like this movie even more. I don't know if the drive was to make people hate Claire Forlani's character (Brandi), but every time she says "TS" it makes me want to punch myself in the face, it's a weird emotion, but it's like a guilty pleasure, with no pleasure what so ever. TS is TS with Brandi, because TS is TS, like Brandi says, TS.Sorry, I really had to let that out. TS!No Mallrats if TS is said more than 2 times by a voice with a wine and bitch in it for breakfast.There is not much more they can do, 40 year old humans with a job and depression is Mallrats 2.
... View MoreCollege student T.S. Quint (Jeremy London) plans to go on a Florida trip with Brandi Svenning (Claire Forlani) but she has to fill in on her father's TV show. They argue and break up. His insensitive friend Brodie Bruce (Jason Lee) gets dumped by his girlfriend Rene Mosier (Shannen Doherty). They go to the local mall and discover that the show is being filmed there. Brodie recruits Jay and Silent Bob to disrupt the show.When compared to his first film, this Kevin Smith movie is sillier and poorer. Some of it plays like Home Alone. He's never been a visual master and this is very much in that vein. The movie is filled with Smith's love of comics and other childish gags. It's got some memorable characters like Tricia Jones, the teen Masters and Johnson. Jay and Silent Bob have become cartoon characters. Lee and Doherty are trying but London is a dud. If Smith wants wacky comedy, London is the blackhole in the middle sucking the fun out of everything.
... View MoreMallrats is the second major film directed and written by Kevin Smith. Mallrats at the time was criticized as one of his worst films. The result is generally the same (gross-out gags, silly jokes, intelligent- speaking college-age teens who talk about nothing but modern culture (as in "entertainment"), a constant stream of profanity and vulgarity)Mallrats has a very think yet simple plot. Has Brodie (Jason Lee), and his friend T.S. (Jeremy London) being broken up by their respective girlfriends, Brandi (Claire Forlani) and Rene (Shannen Doherty). So they decide to hang out at the mall. They eventually end up meeting characters Jay and Silent Bob, as well as their ex-girlfriends. The film is predictable as in it is ultimately tat they will win back their girlfriends, but the quest is how they do it, and their obstacles along the way. In which, they end up on a game show. The finale is somewhat dis interesting, although it provides for entertainment.Mallrats provides some entertainment, but in general of rewatching the film, I have found many of the jokes and gags to be cheesy, outdated, and general not funny. === As a rewatch 07/05/18' Mallrats remain quite a forgettable and unfunny comedy. There are some pieces of entertainment but as a whole, the film feels very off, awkward and outdated. The lead characters are both quite unlikable and selfish and the comedy just in't funny in the slightest.
