The topic is too exciting to deserve the treatment it gets. You learn very little about the macrodynamics of social processes that stand behind the mall phenomenon (and it's decline) and you also learn very little about the microlevel - how the mall environment works. The touch on developments in Asian countries is only very light, the conversations are staged with an extremely stiff acting (in a documentary - why?) and the "funny" element rests largely on ridiculing one of the mall developers, a certain Robyn somebody. The feeling of nostalghia for closed malls is not understandable to me. I think we really should try to keep these feelings for something or someone more important than a suburban commercial centre.
