Classic Friday : Mallrats (1995) 8/10

Starring : Shannen Doherty, Jeremy London, Jason Lee, Claire Forlani, Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams, Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith
Director : Kevin Smith
Running Time : 91 mins

Brodie Bruce (Lee) and TS Quint (London) are dumped by their girlfriends, so decide to go to the local mall to try to get over it. While there they discover that not only is Brodie's now ex-girlfriend Rene (Doherty) seeing another guy - one with questionable sexual preferences - but that Stan "The Man" Lee is doing a very rare comic book signing! Now the two are torn between trying to get their grilfriends back and meeting their all-time hero.

With a significantly larger budget, Kevin Smith managed to make a pretty good looking teen-movie, with faces that were far more familiar to American audiences than those in Clerks. Still, despite having a bigger budget and looking much more slick, the script isn't quite as crisp as Clerks, though Jason Lee is absolutely brilliant as Brodie.
