1118.0. "Mall Rats" by POLAR::TYSICK (He who hesitates...masterbates) Mon Jun 24 1996 11:36

    This one's definitely not as good as Clerks, but still OK!  If ya liked
    the first one (means your into sophmoric humor!) you should take the
    time to see this one!
    
    	Some goofy little things in this one (that won't give away too much)
    like the girl who played the nurse on three's company (Terri?) is in
    this one, and it's a less than respecting role (she ends up topless)
    for almost no good reason!  
    
    	Shannon Doherety plays a girl who breaks up with her boyfriend, who
    just doesn't pay attention to her anymore (or ever did).  Meanwhile
    across town another guy gets dumped by his girl and all four members
    end up at the mall trying to resolve their differences.
    
    	I have to admit it had some bad acting but funny little parts that
    made me enjoy it!  Also for those of you who liked "Jay and Silent Bob"
    they end up in this one as the bizarre fellas they were in the first!
    Also "Dante" ends up in this one...but mainly as a cameo appearence..he
    plays a game show contestant!
    
    	Rent it if ya liked "Clerks" (for a slow night) but if ya haven't
    seen "Clreks" yet...go get it now!

1118.1...and he played himself!SWAM1::STERN_TOTom Stern -- Have TK, will travel!Tue Jun 25 1996 20:447
    Personally I hated it.  Even the Priscilla Barnes nude scene did
    nothing to lighten up a movie that I thought was less fun than
    Showgirls.
    
    After all, what can you say when the best acting in the movie was done
    my Marvel Comics writer/editor Stan Lee?
    
1118.2Very much worth a rental...ODIXIE::LOWERWhat fools these mortals be!Wed Jun 26 1996 06:539
    I liked this one, too.  I totally disagree with the .1 comment about
    the acting.  I thought the cast did a wonderfully underplayed job.
    
    Of course, Clerks is superior.  And I agree, if you haven't seen Clerks
    yet, get it soon, and then watch Mall Rats.  It'll be like having a
    nice a bread pudding after a wonderful turkey dinner.
