Kevin Smith is my absolute hero, but after first viewing this flick I was a little disappointed. I'd seen Chasing Amy the week before, and although Mallrats is very cool, it was just too different to make a comparison. However, after reading more about it and reviewing some of the dialogue, I watched it again and laughed my ass off. It's so wacked, but in a really good way. Kevin Smith is the master of the English language.
One suggestion though- I'm sure Jeremy London is a great actor in his own right, but he shouldn't have been in this movie. He seemed lost, like he didn't get any of the jokes. Jason Lee was incredible, and deserved someone better to be his sidekick. But all in all, it's well worth the time spent watching it (preferably more than once!)
