There's nothing new or particularly memorable about it to make the effort stand out from the batch, but its up there with most efforts of the type.

Reviews for Slackers
This bafflingly uninteresting, unfunny movie is very much not to be compared with superior films like Richard Linklater's Slacker or Kevin Smith's Clerks.
05/26/02
Not so much a movie as an unpleasant presence that sits on the screen.
05/14/02
When Sawa and King take centre stage, interest drops.
05/06/02
Everything about this movie is horrible.
03/24/02
Devoid of any originality, Slackers is loud, crude and colorful, and is directed with a fit lack of subtlety by debut helmer.
02/23/02
...the movie's not even bright enough to at least see the potential of a sense of humor amidst all its meandering.
02/15/02
This is gross-out at it's lamest. Give it a pass.
02/14/02
The director's main tactic is to bring on nonsensical smut.
02/08/02
Nicks and Steinberg match their own creations for pure venality -- that's giving it the old college try.
02/05/02
One scene after another in this supposedly funny movie falls to the floor with a sickening thud.
02/05/02
Airs the same kind of randy, testosterone-fueled humor that has been a staple of comedies about college party guys since Animal House.

Top CriticRevolting, despicable garbage.
02/04/02
There are a few laughs in Slackers but so many scenes worthy of grotesquely big groans, it's hard to give Slackers a recommendation.
02/04/02
[I]t may be the first movie ever targeted to John Hinkley, about the only person I can see as the target audience.

Top CriticWhat rating do you give a film that's as vile as Freddy Got Fingered in some scenes and as funny as Rushmore in others?
02/04/02
This probably isn't the sort of thing I should admit in print, but I laughed until I was thoroughly ashamed of myself.
02/03/02
Watching Slackers is like listening to 2 Live Crew or watching Andrew Dice Clay
02/03/02
The title not only describes its main characters, but the lazy people behind the camera as well.
02/03/02
After 87 painfully unfunny minutes of Slackers, you'll be begging for the type of mercy that only comes with the start of the end credits.
