That's how much I loved animals growing up. The first that I aspired to be, when I was a child, was to be a veterinarian. They offer companionship, friendship and unconditional love if you make a special connection. I am one of those people that believe animals make life a more exciting and joyful experience. Those are just people I don't want to meet. What I mean is people who just refer to animals as worthless beasts or go out of their way to harm them. She's a compassionate human being who feels empathy for living creatures. My mother doesn't like having animals near her, but she respects them and it's clear that she cares about them, as she has shown us in the past. What I don't understand is people who actively hate animals. That I can understand, you're physically afraid of something, so I don't hold it against people who have a fear of any sort of animal. This isn't people who have, legit, phobias regarding animals. Its hard to rate this film, you'll either really like it and give it a 10 or tuck into another chocolate pretzel after giving it a 1.I've NEVER understood how people can hate animals. The long diatribes about seemingly nothing, the anti-establishment rumblings of Brody (who ironically spends a lot of the film clarifying escalator ettiquite and other mall law), and a bigger involvement of Jay and Bob (but not too much) make this as good, if not better than the other Kevin Smith films and quite possibly my favourite of his. Listen to the dialogue though and its soon apparent this is indeed pure Smith.
Had this film been in black in white, shot using a cheaper production method, or had a less happier ending, it possibly would have fared better with the fans than it did. Even without watching the DVD with commentary by Smith its obvious that this outing was backed by Hollywood, emitting a polish and lack of gloom that his other films don't have and thus gaining flack over its lack of "Indie" look and feel and hammy storyline.
As most Smith fanboys know, Mallrats has been trashed critically, financially (bad box-office) and by a lot of Smith's own fan-base.
