Does anyone know exactly what happened between these two? It was supposedly Reese's complaining about Kevin's script. Anyone'd like to elaborate on that?
Thanks!

Reese was bitching about the script, and asked "Who wrote this $hit?" It got back to Kevin, but he didn't care. Then when the movie came out, Kevin and his girlfriend at the time(the chic from "Chasing Amy", can't think of her name) went up to Reese to say hi. Kevin's girlfriend lost the role to Reese.
Reese snubbed the both of them(allegedly). I think thats what happened, it may be on Kevin's blog.
Yeah, they went up to congradulate her on winning the part, being good sports, and she gave them a nasty look and turned away.
Go big or go home.
In Kevin Smith's book SILENT BOB SPEAKS, Kevin says that a "very reliable sorce that was present for the taping of the final scene" told him that this was said. It apparently was said at the end when Ivy and Tripp are walking away, but their voices get dubbed out.
Reese: Who wrote this *beep*
Paul: I think Kevin Smith
Reese: Ugh! Didn't he write Mallrats?
Paul: Yeah but he also wrote Clerks.
Reese: Who cares? No wonder this dialouge sucked.
Reese Witherspoon actually was up for a part in Mallrats, but it ended up going to Joey Lauren Adams, Smith's then girlfriend. At an awards ceremony, Reese acted completely stuck up to Joey.
Read SILENT BOB SPEAKS, for the whole story. I've read it and totally believe it.
Kevin Smith needs to get over himself.
Even if that was true, who cares. What is Kevin going to do: Beat her up after school for saying something that wasn't very nice?
After all, Kevin Smith talks s h i t about everyone in Hollywood. He says things that are far worse than that.
Reese doesn't have to like everyone in Hollywood to be a good person. Or maybe she was having a bad day. Or maybe this was something that happened ten years ago - when they were all in their early 20s.
Since Smith didn't write this movie, this whole thing is funny.....

Whoever wrote it, it's a terrible movie. She was right to complain.
sharemovie honestly would've been better if it was by Kevin Smith. there'd be a lot more cursing true...but there'd be a LOT more actual funny dialog instead of some rather generic digs the 2 characters make at each other throughout the film. Film is OK--perfectly nice even, (and Paul Rudd has not changed at all in his mannerisms between the time he was doing this and I love You Man!--that's a good thing by the way! i like that!) Movie is almost completely forgettable tho despite some cool stunt work---it could've been a lot funnier then it ended up being. Ehh. This all happened well over a decade ago now so it doesn't matter. (it was shot in 1996 by the way, and then on the shelf of New Line for two years before it got a token release in '98)
the white zone is for unloading passengers...
who shot who in the what now?
Can't blame ol Reese. She's right, this script sucked. Mallrats sucked.You can only blame the tattle tale, gossip fag for telling everyne the harsh truth she pointed out. WHat good did that do anyone. If anything, Smith should have taken the critisism to heart and made better movies, which he didn't.

kevin smith's dialogue always sucks! he is a no talent hack.
shareeveryone acts like that sometimes, reese is still a class actor and is hot.

My previous reply, in which I falsely claimed to have had sex with Reese Witherspoon (showing her gratitude for my defense of her nongreasiness) was deleted by an admin.
Do you suppose that she actually complained? Or do admins here just delete whatever strikes them funny?
This makes sense. This movie has always irritated the *beep* out of me every time they rerun it on comedy central.
If Kevin Smith wrote it--it makes sense. This movie is such a piece of *beep*
i'm certainly no fan of kevin smith's work (though i do like him as a person, on chat shows and stuff), but i can totally see reese witherspoon doing something like this. you can just tell by the roles she started to take later in her career that she started to think a little too highly of herself. i was a big fan of hers early on, but she started to lose it sometime after election (one of my all time favs, and she's teriffic in it). it's really too bad, but it happens all the time (see: ashley judd, sandra bullock, nicholas cage, etc.). some people who start off as really talented, entertaining actors just can't resist the hollywood hype machine. thank god for people like tom hanks and johnny depp who somehow stay rooted to reality and down to earth even after hitting it big.
by the way, i've never seen this movie, but talk about you're pieces of crap. i was watching a show called the directors, and john turtletaub was featured. i don't know why, but they flashed a poster of this movie on the screen and i couldn't believe it. it's such a hilarious title, like one of the fake movies on sienfeld (sack lunch, anyone?). anyway, i just had to look it up.
I have heard a couple of tv presenters say that when they interviewed Reese she was kind of a b*tch. Im from Australia so maybe she thinks that Australians don't matter and she only has to be nice when she is in Hollywood?
