Following the smash success of his first feature, Clerks, Kevin Smith returned with Mallrats. Spawning a raft of characters and in-jokes that Smith would carry throughout his career, the film continued the one-of-a-kind comedic world known as the View Askewniverse.

Simultaneously dumped by their girlfriends, comic book obsessive Brodie (Jason Lee, My Name is Earl) and best friend TS (Jeremy London, Party of Five) plan to ease the pain of their losses by taking a trip to the local mall. Amongst shoppers, they discover the mall is being used as the venue for a dating show, in which TS’s girlfriend Brandi (Claire Forlani, Meet Joe Black) is the star. Hatching a plan to win back their significant others, Brodie and TS enlist the help of professional delinquents Jay and Silent Bob to hijack the gameshow in a bid to win back Brandi. Meanwhile, Brodie carries out his own mission to make good his relationship with Rene (Shannen Doherty, Beverly Hills 90210), who has attracted the attentions of his nemesis Shannon Hamilton (Ben Affleck, Argo).

1995, 94 minutes, USA, Directed by Kevin Smith, Rated R

  • “A disjointed but infectious series of comic vignettes, toilet humor, practical jokes, sight gags, even a sort of grunge variation on Keystone Kops slapstick.”

    – Hal Hinson, WASHINGTON POST
  • “Of the 2,818 movies I've seen, never have I witnessed a greater comedic performance than that of Jason Lee in Mallrats, and I doubt I ever will.”

    – Phil Villarreal, ARAZONA DAILY STAR
  • “A comic book-inspired credit sequence, the guest appearance of Marvel Comics genius Stan Lee, and the film's overall superhero aesthetic perfectly capture the mall mise-en-scene.”

    – Alison Macor, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
  • “People used to go to the mall. And not even to shop. You just went. Walked around. Had a cookie. Maybe sabotaged a live TV dating show.  The 90s were weird.”
