Leave your thoughts about Mallrats.
| About.comFred TopelUnderrated Kevin Smith. Lots of inside jokes, background gags and smart dialogue. |
| Common Sense MediaAlex OrnerTypical Kevin Smith fare; not suitable for kids. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThe movie is a piece of junk...However, it's also immensely likable and hysterically, irreverently funny. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfRetains enough Smith-isms to help navigate all potholes in execution. Flawed, yes, but Mallrats has its charms when it isn't shoving its hand up its own hindquarters. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesAlmost everyone has lively things to say, the topics usually centering on the Kevin Smith triumvirate of sex, comics, and movies. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyWhile admittedly ragged and ribald, it's a picture with an innate charm and honesty that should win over audiences. |
| TimeRichard CorlissThe slapstick would put Curly and Moe to shame. The raunch is crude as often as it is clever. |
| DVD ClinicScott WeinbergThere must be a helluva lot of Mallrats fans out there, and I feel pretty confident in saying that they'll pretty much adore this new DVD edition. |
| Boxoffice MagazineChristine JamesA surprisingly clever and hilariously bizarre take on the Gen-X teen experience. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinMallrats mixes clever bits and an appealing quirkiness (which goes a long way) with gross-out practical jokes, needless repetition and obvious padding, since it has no real plot. |
