Consensus: In the grand tradition of teen flicks, Loser comes across as another predictable and underwritten movie with nothing new to offer.

Amy Heckerling (CLUELESS, FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH) directs this romantic comedy starring Jason Biggs as Paul Tannek, a nerdy college freshman with a heart of gold, and Mena Suvari as Dora Diamond, the girl of his dreams. Small-town boy Paul goes to the big city to attend college with high hopes of fitting in and making friends. But from the start, he's fighting an uphill battle. His dorky hat and earnest mannerisms drive his cosmopolitan, ultra-hip roommates crazy, and he finds himself labeled a loser, kicked out of their dorm suite, and living in a room in a veterinary hospital. Meanwhile, Paul falls for Dora, a quirky free spirit who is having a clandestine affair with their professor, Edward Alcott (Greg Kinnear). Despite his feelings for her, Paul does his best to protect Dora from the fact that Alcott doesn't care about her nearly as much as she thinks he does. LOSER also includes brief cameo appearances by Dan Akroyd, David Spade, Andy Dick, Steven Wright, Andrea Martin, Colleen Camp, and Taylor Negron. [More]

Reviews for Loser
Lo pobre del guión, lo acartonado de las actuaciones, los diálogos absurdos y una mala edición, hacen que las pocas cualidades de la cinta pasen desapercibidas
Loser bucks the summer trend, proving that a little light romance is an appealing antidote to an overdose of testosterone and adrenaline.
Funny cameos by Andy Dick, David Spade, Steven Wright, Andrea Martin, Colleen Camp and, as Paul's dad, Dan Aykroyd.
Depicts the difficulties principled persons must face in our uncivil society where cruel egotists are seen as "winners" and nice people are called "losers."
Loser boasts one of the all-time worst codas, with those overused, American Graffiti-inspired on-screen notes moralistically telling you the rotten things that ultimately happened to the rotten people.
The end notes of Loser are lame, and it is not encouraging when a college movie means 'aid,' but spells it 'aide.'
