Smith's better-financed follow-up to the legendary "Clerks" follows Jersey slackers T.S. (London) and Brodie (Lee) to the mall, where they intend to wallow in food-court cookies and reclaim their girlfriends, who recently dumped them. While wandering the mall in low-key and confused pursuit of their women and self respect, they encounter the usual band of bizarre inhabitants, including Ivannah, the topless psychic, Silent Bob (Smith) and stoner Jay (Mewes). Dialogue and sightgags are director/writer Smith's strong point; moving the plot forward is not high on the priority list. The ensemble cast, featuring Doherty as the bored babe who spurns Brodie, is up to the often funny sidebits and gen-x references.
After Kevin Smith's breakthrough movie "Clerks" was well respected by audiences and winner of the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. We see another installment from him, this time in color, and subtracting the "Clerks" we all grew to know.
The film is about T.S. (Jeremy London) a regular guy hoping to vacation to Universal Studios Florida with his girlfriend Brandi (Claire Forlani) as well as propose to her. She says she is helping her dad with a game show and can't make it. T.S. has no choice but to go to his best friend Brodie, a comic book worshiping, slacker who has well gets dumped by his girlfriend, Rene (Shannen Doherty).
The duo are clueless what to do, till they head to local mall to find connection with another girl. They loiter and make trips to the food court for hours till they decide to sabotage Brandi's dad's game show with the help of the local stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Director Kevin Smith).
The movie has a number of funny cameos like, my favorite, Ethan Suplee who is trying to find the hidden sail boat in a picture at the mall. He stands there for hours trying to point it out, while everyone points it out in a matter of seconds.
The sad thing is this is one of Kevin Smith's least recognized movies, and probably worst reviews one. I however, think the movie is one of the best Kevin Smith movies, and goes on "My Top 20 Favorite Movie List". If your a fan of funny dialogue, check this out, if you a fan of Kevin Smith, check this out, if your an uptight CEO harassing your employees...skip it.
