Dreadfully Boring

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Well, whoever gave this a high rating must also have been taking the home-made LSD that the main character took. I don't want to give the plot away because there may be people out there who wish to see this film - relatives of the actors for instance and ... nope that's about it. The main character twitches his way through this film but with no real evidence of why he is where he is - Harvard, with Sarah Michelle Geller as a girlfriend and lecturer as another. Just what they are supposed to see in him is a mystery to me since money, looks, intelligence and charm seems to be completely lacking.The plot line of needing money to help his parents seems so out of place for a self-centred student that is almost forgotten later in the film. Various characters seem to swing widely from one characteristic to another (watch out for the basketball playing friend moving from honourable wanting to do the best to gun-toting anger).At the end, not giving anything away but I really didn't care what happened to the main (or any other) character except to pray that no-one ever considered making a sequel. That's a couple of hours of my life wasted !

This is one of those rare movies that you can't wait to see a second time because you want to laugh at how bad it was. The acting in the first half of the movie is miserable. Adrian Grenier sounds like a robot through much of the movie. It's almost as though he's (poorly)reading a Teleprompter in many scenes. Joey Laurence Adams shows none of her Chasing Amy charm. Instead, she comes off as annoying and whiny. James Toback tries to play the "mad genius" role as director and has one stroke of brilliance in an amazing acid-trip scene that climaxes with an Al Franken cameo. It is hilarious and the highlight of the movie.The rest of the movie is merely hilariously awful. The plot is virtually nonexistent. Sarah Michelle Geller seems embarrassed to be in the movie in certain parts, especially in the miserable scene at her father's house (her dad happens to be a Mafia boss--the main story line is a college basketball player throwing a game to his girlfriend's father, a mob boss. Brilliant and truly cutting edge!).This movie is a must see for all the wrong reasons.

This movie is like a mix between Fear & Loathing and a Kevin Smith movie with an added touch of philosophy, and if you can believe it, muddled dialogue. Like many stories and movies a lot of the altercations between the characters seem a little too coincidental, and far from logically possible. The best part of the movie by far is the acid scene. I wouldn't rate this movie as low as some, and would stick it somewhere around the middle of the heap. Worth watching if you get the chance to catch it on TV, but don't go out of your way. Joey Adams performance is tired and forced. I did enjoy getting to see Rebecca Gayheart again though, haven't seen her since Earth 2.

I have owned this movie for quite some time, mainly because SMG is in it and I'm a big fan of BTVS, but I had never gotten around to watching it until last night. I have to say, I was pretty disappointed. I mean, I'm supposed to feel sorry for this guy? He's shamelessly sleeping with two women at the same time, and getting tripped out on LSD. What do I care if he gets out of his mess? He's not a good guy, in spite of the fact that the movie half-heartedly attempts to make him seem so, since he is trying to get money together for his parents to replace their home, which got blown away by a tornado. Here's a quick summary: This guy is going to Harvard, and plays basketball for them. He is sleeping with SMG's character, whose father is a big time mobster. He is also sleeping with Joey Lauren Adams' character, who happens to be one of his teachers. His parent's home gets blown away by a tornado. He wants to help them replace it, so he asks SMG to ask her father for the money. She says he can have the money if he promises to fix a basketball game that has been bet on, so even more money can be won. The FBI gets wind of this, and try to cause a lot of trouble for SMG and her father. They attempt to get this guy to turn them in. The FBI team (a boy and a girl who his other girlfriend happens to be having regular threesomes with) let his other girlfriend know what's going on, and she tries to get him out of it. While all this chaos is going on, this guy is totally tripped out on LSD, hearing voices, hallucinating, etc. Pretty ridiculous. So, basically, my main problem with this movie was that I didn't like any of these characters. None of them seemed like good people, like anyone that I would care much one way or the other what happened to them. No sympathy for anyone. So, I was actually sitting through the whole movie, hoping it would be over soon because I was tired of watching it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The only good point: I thought Sarah Michelle Gellar did a good job with her part. She was very believable. I didn't think of her as Buffy once during this movie.
