Here are some reviews of the Penn Can Mall 2002 Dead Mall Tour DVD:
"I really enjoyed this DVD!! I am so glad that someone made it and we still have that part of the mall at least, and the memories!! I was white knuckling it for a bit when the guy filming found the open door and had the moral dilemma about going it! Thank you oh mighty construction workers for allowing entry for this DVD to have been made! Absolutely loved it!!!" - Jeanette Bova - Camillus, NY
"The "Return to the Penn Can Mall" DVD is a genuine, nostalgia trip that is funny, entertaining and insightful. I was curious about the unedited nature of this project, half expecting shaky camera work and dull spots. Truthfully, the camera work was fine and I was never bored. With each former store entered, I was just as excited as Ham and Jon to see what would be found. This "movie" has a natural flow that climaxes with the resolution of decade old argument between friends over the identity of a beloved restaurant. Bottom line: Well worth the 20 bucks if you ever spent time in Penn Can Mall and miss it." - Patrick Baker - Baldwinsville, NY
"Even if you've never been to Penn Can Mall, you'll easily relate to the adventures of two late-twentysomething Ex-Mall Rats revisiting the scenes of their teen years! I'm reminded of Springsteen's "My Hometown" and The Pretenders "My City was Gone" as the boys reminisce, argue, and explore the ruins of the climate-controlled Camelot of their youth." - Mike Warden - Melbourne, KY
"...so much fun to watch; it was like being in a time machine, just listening to all the fascinating stories!" - Courtney Angell - Fulton, NY
"... just got done watching Dead Mall Video, Awesome.... great job..." - Mike Murphy - Central Square, NY
"Interesting video. Its nice you were able to film so much, even areas most people have never seen. Well done!" - Jon Schadle - Grand Rapids, MI
