Mallrats (DVD Collector's Edition) [DVD] [Standard]

An extremely overlooked and under appreciated movie. I personally think it's far better than Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Dogma, even though there's probably no one else who agrees with that. I will say, though, that I've seen the 10th Anniversary Edition and the video and sound quality seem better on that and a couple little sound bits seem different. But it's still a great movie. And just a tip: you don't have to bother watching the deleted scenes (or the extended version in newer releases which is just the unedited version): they don't add anything (and the theatrical version's better).

I remember when this movie came out, I was a teen and saw it in the theater, I laughed pretty good then, and still find it hilarious today. I find a lot of the movies I watched and enjoyed as a teen i can't stand now, like clueless, I think, how in the world was I ever into that, lol. This however stood the test of time for me. Snagging it for a couple bucks on black friday makes it even better. I didn't like clerks that much, actually liked the sequel better, and while it's funny I'm still not that into dogma, chasing amy I haven't steeled myself to watch again since a teen since I don't remember liking it much, this is the only jay and silent bob movie I feel I can watch more than twice. If you like funny preposterous situations you'll probably like this.

This was to be a replacement for an old DVD that got destroyed. Overall, it's good. The disc works and there's no physical damage to it. But the case was a different story. The case looked like someone took a hammer to it. There were little pieces of plastic from the shell flying around inside it. Other than that, it's a hard to track down movie and I'm happy I got it.

Mallrats is not a good movie. Don't expect intrigue, suspense, thought-provoking narrative, or Oscar-worthy performances. These qualities aside, the movie is packed with enough laughs and quirky, memorable moments that can keep you coming back. The DVD has enough extras (commentaries, deleted scenes, featurettes) to make it worth the purchase over streaming it somewhere online. Worth a buy.

Ever since "Clerks" I have been following Kevin Smith's career. We are totally into all his stuff. From his movies to Comic Book Men.
