    • Trivia
      This appears to be one of three times Kevin Smith has appeared as Silent Bob in a film that's not his, the other two being Scream 3 and Fanboys. Though this is open to some debate as Jason Mewes's character refers to him as "John," yet he is wearing the same costume as seen in Mallrats.

    • Alternate versions
      The DVD Features two versions of the film. The normal version and the 'Director's Cut' which is four minutes longer. The DVD Also features deleted scenes which include two longer takes of the guys on the couch talking about what they're going to do, two takes of the Directors as fanboys, and a take of the directors trying to get Jason Mewes to act.

    approach with caution.....

    For those of you expecting a great Kevin Smith comedy, this is not it. This is basically a very good student film. The pace of this film is really uneven and the non-Jason Lee characters needed a little more depth. The sound and picture quality is a bit low - the audio almost drops out a couple times.

    the good news: if you're a fan of Jason Lee you'll enjoy this one. He pulls an "Atlas" and carries the entire film. There is also some suprisingly good cinematography. I was suprised to see that 90% of the cast of Mallrats is in it.

    bottom line: rent first, buy later.
