For Mamie Van Doren's, think Harold and Maude with no humanity. For the whole picture, think American Pie with no laughs.

It's several good jokes, a whole lot of character development and some skilled direction away from crossing the line from moronic to crudely inspired.
Original Score: 58/100

This may be a vaguely gratifying rent someday if you are intrigued with Schwartzman's early movies. He'll surely be around for a while.
Original Score: 2/4

You really have to wonder how on earth anyone, anywhere could have thought they'd make audiences guffaw with a script as utterly diabolical as this.

Isn't it a pity when the best words a film critic can say about a movie are 'not an absolute bomb'?

Calculated swill.

Ultimately as generic as its title.
Original Score: 1/5

It's elevated into watchability thanks to the presence of Jason Schwartzman and some inspired off-the-wall moments amongst the smutty gags.

There is so much wrong with Slackers, it may be more efficient simply to point out the one acceptable ingredient: Jason Schwartzman.

Its effect could appeal only to hardcore masochists: you pay it $9.50 and it spends the next two-hours laughing at how dumb you are.

Going with this title is about as original as calling the movie Animal Houses.

Although not the best comedy in recent memory, it's not the worst either.

Asking serious questions about such movies usually is pointless, but how stupid do director Dewey Nicks and writer David H. Steinberg think women are?
Original Score: 1/4

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.
Original Score: 1.5/5

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.
May 14, 2002
Not so much a movie as an unpleasant presence that sits on the screen.
Original Score: 0.5/4
