Mallrats [Collector's Edition]

Kevin Smith's homage to teen sex romps of the 1980s, Mallrats is given collector's edition treatment by Universal. The widescreen anamorphic 1.85:1 transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.0, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles on this disc. The bountiful supplemental features include a commentary track with the director, stars Ben Affleck, Jason Mewes, and Jason Lee, as well as the producers of the film. Anyone who has had the pleasure of listening to Smith's commentaries for Clerks or Chasing Amy already knows that he provides commentary tracks as wild and funny as his films. Over one hour of deleted scenes can be accessed, as well as live footage from the commentary recoding session, a production photo gallery, a theatrical trailer, a featurette, and an advertisement for the soundtrack. Though it is Smith's least successful film, Mallrats is a fantastic DVD.
