Sophomore jinx hit hard in this second film by Kevin Smith, whose debut Clerks transcended the limits of its setting and budget to become something memorably funny. (Smith followed Mallrats with the wonderful Chasing Amy, so Mallrats definitely had the old curse.) A ramshackle comedy set in a mall, the film follows several story lines involving lovers, enemies, friends, goofballs, and Smith's own "silent" character, who also appeared in Clerks and Chasing Amy. A heavy self-consciousness weighs on everything, as if Smith forgot how to make obscenity funny instead of tedious. Still, it's nice to see some of the director's film family on screen, among them Jason Lee and Joey Lauren Adams. --Tom Keogh

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) One Star for Priscilla & One Star for Shannen [Rating: 2 out of 5]
This is a really lousy movie made up of crass, vulgar, toilet humor. I can't imagine how anyone could find this entertainment. The acting is totally second-rate and it looks like it was filmed with one of those old-fashioned "camcorders" that everyone had in the 70's and 80's. Even my two favorite stars, Priscilla Barnes & Shannen Doherty can't save this raw sewage.2) Why buy the DVD when you can get the sex for free? [Rating: 3 out of 5]
In keeping with the theme of going back to the well, Kevin Smith and the View Askew gang present the Mallrats 10th Anniversary Edition DVD. If you're an absolutely die hard fan of the movie, by all means buy this now and spend the remainder of your day with the DVD and some chocolate covered pretzels. If you're not, just stick to the Collector's Edition you have now.I'm a huge fan of everything that Kevin Smith and Company have done over the last fourteen years, but I was honestly a bit disappointed that this DVD didn't bring a lot to the table. You have the theatrical feature (with commentary) as well as the same features you had with the Collector's Edition DVD. The only difference on this DVD is that rather than seeing the cut footage as cut footage, Kevin and Scott cut it back into the film, creating the "extended" cut, and you also have a short 10th Anniversary Q&A with Kevin, Scott Mosier, and some of the cast.Those are really the only differences. I was personally hoping for a little more effort. Perhaps an updated commentary track? Something more to make it feel like it's not just the same DVD with new packaging. All in all, it's the same movie we fell in love with once we saw it on Starz. If you're looking for a DVD with lots of extras, I'd suggest Clerks X.3) Mallrats [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Product was in good shape when arrived. Came wrapped which was nice surprise for a previously viewed DVD purchase. Very pleased.4) Funny Through And Through [Rating: 5 out of 5]
A lot of people fault Kevin Smith for his lengthy talking heads, but this movie features some great moments mixed with some great writing. The movie is shot nearly entirely in a mall and there is enough antics to get any fan of Smith or the casual Jay and Silent Bob fan through this funny and uproarious comedy. Not as good as Clerks, but this one stands alone. Definitely a portrait of slackers, and the comic book nerd alike.5) Jersy trilogy [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I like this move , but not as much as Dogma or Jay and silen bob strike back .if your a jersy trilogy fan , buy it.
