Jeremy London is a terrible actor


But with that said, this film is underrated as heck. I think the film holds up better today due to the films comic book references and jokes.

But my god is Jeremy London a terrible actor. Its like hes reading his lines off of a cue card.

His twin, Jason, is better at the profession & has much more work under his belt as a result. I enjoyed his roles in Man In the Moon and Dazed & Confused, of course. Jeremy's acting is pretty wooden.

Yeah, he was pretty abysmal. Why do you think he's one of, like, five actors Kevin has never worked with again? According to Smith he showed up stoned more than a few times for his scenes. What a pro.

Movie still came out great in spite of him, which you can thank Jason Lee for

Funny enough, isn't that Kevin who does that now?

Can't stop the signal.

Very true. And his craft/career have suffered a great deal as a result.

I still love Jeremy London in Mallrats no matter what anyone says!

Oh boy, he sucks. I just watched this again last night for the first time in, oh, five or six years, and I really focused on his performance this time and it's just uncomfortable to watch. Anyone notice he just repeats the same facial expressions over and over again in a single scene? Like when they first meet Jay and Bob, he does this sorta "exasperated eye roll" thing, except he does it about nine hundred times in the one sequence, or how he constantly crosses his arms? You can just tell he wasn't comfortable on camera (look no further than "Where's Brandi?!" and "So you made her dump me and now you're gonna auction her off in an effort to better............................FURTHERYOUROWNCAREER?!"). He's also very uncomfortable to watch in that reunion Q&A ("Do you have a kid? Do you have a kid? Do you have a kid? Do you have a......kid?").

I don't argue that he is pretty brutal in it, but he is still better than Claire Forlaine. She's just baaaaaaad
