There are laughs here, but easily as many groans.

A disappointing venture. If only it had been more clever, perhaps darker.

An odd little movie. And not in a good way.

Schwartzman steals Slackers without much effort, but it's not worth the theft.

Slackers is, well, consummately cheesy. Ugh.

Stinks like a cat box that hasn't been changed in a hundred years.

A dirty movie. Not a sexy, erotic, steamy or even smutty movie, but a just plain dirty movie. It made me feel unclean, and I'm the guy who liked "There's Something About Mary" and both "American Pie" movies.

Was just shocked to find Slackers in the "bottom 50 movies of the century" list. This is a great comedy. It's definitely a b-movie, but it has a ton of laughs, and bizarre performances. My sister and I still quote this movie to this day.

At times the hammy acting, self-aware melodrama, and leftfield jokes can be charming, but that's not enough to make "Slackers" a good film- which suffers from predictability, an awful plothole ending, and obnoxious characters/scenes.
