How Could Anyone Not Like This?

When people think of Kevin Smith movies most think of Clerks or Dogma, not many people come up with Mallrats (unless they're being ironic). A lot has been said about this movie, mainly that it isn't funny, or Smith's worst movie, but I feel differently. I think Mallrats is not ment to be a cinamatic masterpiece, I think it's suppsed to be a stupid teen comedy. And if you watch it in that light, you'll fully enjoy it. Clerks this is not, but it is still a good movie in it's own right.

"You Saw it too? Damn it!"

After hearing how awful this was, how it followed the old curse of being the crappy middle movie in between two good ones, I knew I had to see it. I rented it from the local video store and had to watch it again. Somehow the story doesn't matter but for what it's worth: Two losers (Jeremy London, Jason Lee) dubbed "Mallrats" by the said a-hole from the Fashionable Male store in the local mall (Ben Affleck), go to said mall after being dealt with the simultaneous double loss of losing their girlfriends. Brodie and T.S. (Lee and London) spend the rest of the movie sulking about being dumped and when the opportunity presents itself: attempting to win their girls back, amid constant bickering and jabbering about comic book mythology. Add in a cheesy dating game rip off where T.S.'s girlfriend is to be auctioned off to the highest bidder by her father (the failing TY executive) and the sloppy attempts to crash the stage it's to be held on by two pot smoking slackers, plus the assault on an Easter Bunny, a hidden picture of a sailboat, and Stan Lee you make for one crazy film put together rather shabbily but effectively (in my opinion) by writer/director Kevin Smith, his second after the critically acclaimed CLERKS. This film is obviously sophomoric and that's what's so great about it. At one point Brodie and T.S. encounter a topless fortune teller with three nipples in a Dirt Mall while dodging police after being wrongly accused of possession of illegal drugs. If that isn't enough to either interest you or turn you off, I don't know what is. What got me overall though, what keeps me watching this insane movie is Jason Lee's hilarious portrayal of the comic obsessed Brodie Bruce, who spouts off priceless lines such as: "How do you know he's not my sidekick." When Brodie and his ex Renee are arguing and Brodie yells out of nowhere: "That guy looks like a date rapist!" , referring to her new boyfriend (Affleck) I almost die laughing. He overeacts to everything and is constantly funny. He obviously has no clue what is going on, is too mentally clouded by his lack of sleep and comic book collection, and makes an ass of himself nonstop, oh man. I can't begin to describe how hilarious this movie is. Sure some scenes are a bit too much (Stink Palm anyone?) but they're constantly overweighed by the good. London's portrayal of T.S. is a bit dry but that's okay, Lee takes over for everytime London ruins a line. Ethan Suplee playing Willem Black, formally portrayed by Scott Mosier is the unfortunate bulk that can never see the hidden 3-D picture of the sailboat has a few scenes and they're great, due mostly to his outbreaks of sudden violence toward anyone distracting him from his quest of seeing the sailboat ("I'll see it if I have to go blind trying!") Attempt to ignore the few childish gags Smith throws in and just enjoy the madness, the awesome dialogue and various tales of Brodie's odd cousin Walter.
