I'm a big, critical movie buff, and mallrats just hit me as great, even tho it was a financial failure when it came out

Not just Mallrats but all of Kevin Smith's work is underrated. My personal favorite is Chasing Amy.

I like it well enough.. and there are times where it's the only movie I want to watch.. and of course.. I had to buy it to keep my view askewiverse together.. Come on .. the fortune teller is a classic.. lol
I honestly think more people avoided it because of Shannon Dougherty.. who can act.. but who is thought to be rather.. hmm.. well.. let's just say.. not very nice in person. I don't see anything that she did wrong in the movie.. and I don't know her in person.. so, I'll reserve judgement.. the movie is good regardless.. (Although, my favorite is Chasing Amy.. but.. to be fair.. I am a lesbian.. so, I may be biased)

you have to look at vhs and dvd sales.....read kevin smith's blogs they're very insightful and hilarious, some of the funniest and best **** that you'll read online...
anywho...he says that the majority of his movies are box office failures but have AMAZING dvd sales...mallrats was one of those he listed

yes! this totally slid under the radar. i think this movie, along with it's humor was ahead of it's time.
