During "Mallrats" shooting, two friends of Kevin Smith, Malcolm Ingram, and Matt Gissing, recruited "Mallrats" cast for their own project. This is extremely low-budget black and white movie, in which, at least as a cameo, appear almost whole cast of "Mallrats". IMDb says it is a comedy, but it's crap. This has almost nothing to do with comedy. It is drama/adventure, with a pretty good story, and Jason Lee carries it beautifully. The rest of the crew is good too, but their characters are not so well developed. Technically, the movie is pretty bad, with an unbalanced sound that almost disappears few times, and all together it leaves an overall impression of an amateur movie, or maybe homework of first-year film student. But there are some great shots too. For some reason, most of the rips on the internet have first 15 minutes missing, but full 76 minutes version can easily be found to watch online. And do not even try to search for subtitles in any language. I warmly recommend using headphones to be able to understand all the lines. If you are not View Askew fan you should probably skip this, but if you like Kevin Smith movies, you are a fan of "Clerks" or even "Blair Witch Project", I think you'll find it worthy of your time.
