Magic Marmalade 30th Oct 2021		Rated 8/10 Well this one surprised me, at how well it's actually aged... ...At least, it wasn't anywhere near as disastrous as I'd expected to have done so! Having not seen it since the nineties, when things like this, and it's brilliant predecessor Clerks were my thing, I was happy to stumble across the DVD again at a boot fair. Basically, an ultimate slacker movie centred around the relationship between the grossly immature and overly geeky and intense Brodie (Jason Lee), and his girlfriend Rene (Shanen Doherty), who he is ingrave danger of losing as she wants him to grow up, and stop being such a complete tool, he sets off on an everyday oddysy / adventure / quest to win her back in the local shopping mall, with the aid of his friends, including the stallwarts Jay and Silent Bob. And with Ben Affleck continuing his mean jock promoted to local store manager in a sharp suit asshole role with aplomb stealing Rene away to the approval of her dad played by Michael Rooker,.. who together, play the Darth Vader and Emperor to Brodie's low rent Luke Skywalker in what is basically a low rent, everyday Star Wars episode in a shopping mall death star. Of course, Kevin Smith was well into comic books, comic lore, Sci-Fi and cultural references long before Marvel had even conceived of it's global cinematic dominion, so this was pretty obscure at the time of release, and has actually grown in relevance as the rest of the world has caught up with it, in it's cultural preferences. This even has Stan Lee in it!!! So while it has actually done the reverse thing of the more common thing of ageing badly, the other surprise is how actually (relatively) enlightened it's attitudes to men and women's relationships are... (for the time, and it still has the odd wobbly moment, but nothing that can't be forgiven :) ...But actually quite funny still and with quite a sharp wit all round.... lot's of fun. A great way to spend a couple of hours, hanging out in the mall with flaky friends, while plotting the downfall of the evil empire :) 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
