This and "Jay and Silent Bob" both get panned as his worst...

Of "Jay and Silent Bob" he once said, "I made an award winning film with no budget. I wanted to see if I could do the opposite and make a terrible film with a lot of money."

As for Mallrats being a bad movie- I'd agree from a cinematic standpoint. If you watch the final scene of the movie, it's absolutely horrid because most of it was reshot in an entirely different location... and so the game show set in every other shot looks completely different.

...it's still entertaining as hell though.

I'm pretty sure that only Brandy's close-up scenes on the pink chair were re-shot, and you can tell because she looks just a little differently than on the wide shots.

IIRC, Smith said on the DVD that they had to reshoot Brandy's chair scenes because they referred back to the cut beginning sequence at the Governor's Ball.

Yep. I've been watching Mallrats for the last two weeks; I watch the commentary first, then the behind-the-scenes stuff, then the deleted scenes, then I'll watch the regular cut of the movie -- all while falling asleep. Smith said there were jokes that just couldn't cut around to eliminate the Governor's Ball scene, like when T.S. punched the dude in the parking lot for saying, "Weren't you the guy on CNN?"
