Slacker (DVD)

The film starts with a guy (played by director Richard Linklater) boring a taxi driver with talk of alternative realities. We then move on to see a car knocking over a woman in the street. Then the cops come for the driver, who, it turns out, was the victims son. And then the camera moves on ... Read review

A Generation X movie

Advantages: Amusing take on the slacker generation
Disadvantages: There's no plot as such

...the everyday existence of various slacker types in Austin, Texas. People talk about conspiracy theories, their artistic projects, political action, popular culture, whatever. It's kind of strange, but compelling. I particularly enjoyed one couple of characters discussing a theory that the reason behind the cartoon The Smurfs is that it's a way for getting children used to blue people, so that they're ready for Krisna coming to earth. The whole movie ... more

Just plain lazy

Advantages: Its quite short
Disadvantages: Where do I start

of the guys who was meant to be helping him, he looses it. Not only does he want to get the room mates chucked out of university but also split up the new relationship between Dave and Angela. Does he succeed? Do the guys turn the tables on him? Does true love find its way? Do we really care? I was talked into getting Slackers after a friend recommended it, with the line "It's like American Pie, but with intelligence". Oh what a mistake, maybe I misheard him, but Slackers is definitely not an intelligent version of American Pie. I can see the similarities, the stars of the film are 3 university students, a nerd and a beautiful girl and there is plenty of over the top gags which would fit into an American Pie movie. But unlike American Pie, Slackers doesn't gel as a decent film. First of the problems is that although the film is set in the real ...

Review of Slackers (DVD)

Stop Working, Start Living.

Advantages: Brilliantly funny in places, especially involving Jason Schwartzman.
Disadvantages: Boring romance plot and loses some of its inventiveness with same-old jokes.

situations, mainly involving Ethan as the highly unstable, almost psychotic stalker. In this role Schwartzman steals the show as the wannabe cool guy on campus, which leads to hilarious cosequences. Although the film features some invention in its humour, it can't fully break the teen gross out mould, with its dose of S&M and an encounter between Ethan and a randy semi-naked elderly woman in a hospital. On the whole its a movie worth watching for the brilliant pieces of comedy involving Schwartzman even if you do have to sit through a pretty dull romance scenario. Even if the comedy does occaisionally lapse into gross out its relatively mild compared to other similar comedies such as Van Wilder. Not as good as American Pie or Roadtrip, but then few films of this genre are. As for the extras on the DVD, these are minimal and disappointing ...

Review of Slackers (DVD)

Dinner's Served.......

Advantages: Hopkins, Moore, Story and Visuals
Disadvantages: Slightly weak script

information compared to the other slackers who release their big titles on DVD with little more than the ever appealing 'inter-active menus' and throw in the odd trailer. Well done MGM keep up the good work. INFORMATION: - Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Anthony Hopkins Julianne Moore Ray Liotta Gary Oldman ...
