Mallrats is my personal fav film. And everyone I have ever shown the movie to loved it. It just had bad press coverage. If it had been released now things would be different. Despite the plot problems the studio gave Kev it still came out as a great flick. I mean no it isn't "the English Patient", but good lord, it's funny as hell. This is one of those comfort movies you can watch over and over. It's a great tribute to John Hughes films. Mallrats has wonderful dialogue mixed with just enough dick and fart jokes. Everything about the movie is memorable, I just wish more people knew it. If it came out now, it would clean up at the box office.

PS
Am I the only one who gets pissed when Kevin slams this flick? I really take it personally.
I wish he'd get over that and make another movie like it.
