I'll have to admit I thought this movie was hilarious, but that's as far as I'm willing to take it. It really is not a GREAT movie. You can only watch a movie like this so many times. The humor is meant for those who can't and won't think too hard about the jokes to get them. Or for those who are just intelligent enough to understand them. Maybe I was too old (mature) to see this movie when I did, but that is my philosophy. One liners get stale and can't make a movie. Mallrats has high entertainment value but nothing worth watching repeatedly in other words it is not a good movie, just good for a few laughs.
I hate to utter the phrase... but this movie is a sell out. It has no independent film spark. I think the only reason Kevin Smith made this movie was to get enough money to work on greater projects like Chasing Amy and Dogma. Clerks would have been a much more highly acclaimed film with a little more cash, although it is still one of my favorites.
