Slackers in the Food Court - Mallrats review by griggs
Kevin Smith’s second outing swaps the corner shop for the shopping mall, and the difference is all escalators, food courts, and comic-book cameos. Mallrats takes the same slacker energy of Clerks but loosens its collar, indulging in pratfalls, punch-ups, and sight gags alongside the usual pop-culture chatter. The result is messy but oddly charming — a film that feels like it should be playing on a loop in the background of a record shop.
Just as Wayne’s World launched lines that everyone could quote, Mallrats is full of throwaway jokes that stuck around — though because fewer people actually saw it, the origin of those jokes often goes unnoticed. This is cult territory: dialogue that wormed its way into the lexicon, yet you’re the only one in the room who knows where it came from.
The performances are knowingly cartoonish, Stan Lee drops in for a legendary cameo, and Smith’s affection for his misfits is infectious. It’s shambolic, yes, but also surprisingly sweet — a mall-rat comedy that earns its cult stripes.
