Mallrats (1995)
7/10
A Chinese opinion
11 March 2007
Kevin Smith is a kind of strange species in Hollywood, I've seen his two films before, JERSEY GIRL and DOGMA. But not the most famous one THE CLERK, that's why I haven't seen CLERK 2 up to the present, and I think I'll watch them together one day.

As for this movie, still quite Kevin Smith, we can find the famous Jay and Silent Bob here, also the regular cast including Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams etc.

The plot line is kinda funny, most of the scenes happened in a local mall, two guys are going to win their girlfriends back, not like teen movie s these days, this one contains numerous japes which are neither dirty nor tacky, the measure between between humor and smarty is hard to handle, this film manages it very well. Although in my opinion, Michael Rooker gives a rather gross performance (it's horrible to see his fat ass on screen!).

As a Chinese, Kevin Smith seems too local for me, so I don't think I'm his loyal fan, but he's intelligent and has some good quality to make more WIDER films, and I do like silent bob, he's the funniest part in this film.
