Insomniac Film Festival #100: Mallrats

Review by @rvgenaille · 3128d · of Mallrats

Welcome to my 100th review here on Steemit. Tonight we talk Mallrats from writer/director Kevin Smith and starring Jason Lee, Jeromy London and Shannon Doherty-

WAIT!!! MALLRATS?!?!

For a milestone like 100?!?! 100!!

Seriously?!?!

Why not something critically acclaimed? Or popular? Or critically acclaimed and popular?!?

I don’t know... random chance. It was where it fell in the order I watched them. I don’t know.

It’s good though. Better than I thought it would be. Raunchy and talky and, while not laugh out loud funny, surprisingly charming. It’s about two guys who are dumped by their girlfriends that go hang out at the mall. Hijinks ensue as they keep running into said exes and assorted characters at the mall.

The Good...

I like Jay & Silent Bob. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith are hilarious as these two stoners and they are somewhat Wile E. Coyote-esque Jedi in this one.

Joey Lauren Adams is a bit of a revelation here.

Michael Rooker is in this!

The Not So Good...

Rooker’s subplot was annoying. So was Ben Affleck, though in fairness that was probably his character.

Some of the dialogue run-ons don’t work coming out of some of the mouths. They just can deliver these lines well.

Overall, a fun flick, an entertaining distraction.
