Not as great or funny as "Clerks", but it's still a hilarious film that I don't think deserved the hate that it got when it first came out. I mean, what the hell do you expect from a guy like Kevin Smith (back when he wrote good stories and wasn't a conformist-fanboy and a shill) with a big-budget Hollywood money funded by Universal Studios? Of course Kevin Smith is gonna use a lot of the budget to do some crazy and wacky shit (besides hiring big name actors who did a pretty good job in this movie) that makes "Clerks" look tamed. A simple, engaging story with likable characters and non-PC sense of humor that has since become outlawed by the comedy-police (AKA dumbasses, conformists, and limousine liberals). Jason Lee is also no exception to this; being a great actor who steals the show and has some great and memorable scenes and lines that make you wish you had a friend like him (almost). I highly recommend "Mallrats" if you're looking for a funny film to watch, and it's something that fans of "Clerks", even Kevin Smith's work in general, can enjoy. I'm glad it's gotten a whole-new recognition as a great film recently, and I'm happy to have known about and watched it.
