Mallrats (1995)
Director Kevin Smith followed up his Clerks (1994) with his first studio backed film staring Jason Lee, Jeremy London and Shannen Doherty. Two slackers are dumped by their respective girlfriends and spend the day at the local mall.
Despite not achieving the praise that Clerks did this is a funny film even if the plot is not especially impressive. What really makes the film is new comer Jason Lee in one of his first roles really stealing the film with his ranting nature and comic book obsession. Having a large cast certainly helps and there are plenty of laughs along the way.
4/5 better than it's reputation.
