Mallrats
As reviewed by Miguel Condominum Kesey
Motherfuckin' Yoda and shit. This is another one of those Kevin Smith films featuring Silent Bob and Jay...however, these films aren't just riding a grunge wave, but they're 90s slacker meets 90s mass unpopular culture.
The film is about a group of young individuals who hang around a mall...that's the basis, but there are plenty of subplots to keep you engrossed. The main star is Jeremy London as T.S. who breaks up with his girlfriend, Brandi at the beginning of the movie because instead of going to Florida (where he was going to propose to her at Universal Studios...on the Jaws ride...when Jaws jumps out of the water...) with him, she is to appear on her father's dating show : "Truth Or Date" which is taking place live at the mall. So, T.S. gets in contact with his comic-book mad friend, Brodie, and they set off to the mall...and lots of stuff happens.
Woohoo...we meet lots of ZAAAANY characters...including Willam, a large, stained man who is trying to see one of those Magic Eye pictures of a sailboat, but failing. His best line has to be when a little girl sees the sailboat and calls it a scooner..."Ha ha ha, you dumb bastard. It's a sailboat."
We also meet Ben Affleck, who likes to have sex with women in very uncomfortable places...the back of a Volkswagon?
Well, anyway, there are lots and lots...so it's quite an interesting film, I enjoyed it. Some of the ideas are so irrelevant and surreal, that it's just brilliant in fact. So, I recommend it.
Plus, Weezer are on the soundtrack.
