Now I understand why the critics did not love this movie. It is neither deep nor ground-breaking in any way shape or form. But, I think that most people will find that it is quite hilarious! Jason Schwartzmann is ridiculous and entertaining as the psychotic stalker of the movie, and all of his scenes will make you laugh so hard that you'll nearly pee your pants. And of course all girls fall for the adorable Devon Sawa (I'm tellin ya- no one can resist that beautiful smile) So if you want an intelligent comedy or a groundbreaking movie experience rent something else, but if you are in the mood for a [funny] college comedy then by all means- THIS is the one to watch. I promise you won't be dissapointed.

The answer my friends is yes... this is the greatest movie ever. And for all of you non-believers, i'm sure you lack any semblance of a sense of humor. Anyways... Cool Ethan is perhaps the finest character of our time, and Jason Schwartzman's portrayal of him should be applauded.

compared to what most people say i think this is a very good movie. the problem with the film was probably the trailers for it. they showed it as this slapstick comedy with a popular rock soundtrack. in reality it is somewhat of a dark comedy with really strange music. anyway, this movie still has it's very funny moments. as i said earlier this movie is very weird and creepy. just the way the characters act you can tell they're not normal. the best actor in this by far is Jason Schwartzman who steals the show. his two songs in it are hilarious. but in short this movie should be seen with an open mind and knowing the fact that you're not going to see a goofy movie.

If you are looking for a funny movie and don't feel like taking yourself too seriously, then this is the movie for you! Silly college humor mixed with Jason Schwartzman's hilariouis character "Cool Ethan" has me rolling every time! This in is no way in an Academy Award winning piece, just a laughable colletion of pranks and grossouts. I suggest watching it with a group of fun friends and lots of beer!

The movie came in good condition and worked great however the writing on the front of the case was in English and French as well. Was not expecting that as it was a gift.

By no means a great flick with an awe inspiring plot line but, funny as hell! I love this movie. Fast shipping and high qaulity dvd with case.

This movie is hilarious! gross silly humor, but my favorite of all Jason Schwartzman films- even better than Rushmore!

`Slackers' is about as tasteless as `American Pie' but only has half the laughs, thus deeming it somewhat of a worthless time-waster. If you want to see a bunch of off color jokes made with no real fun factor then this is the film to watch. If you want a smart sex-comedy that will make you laugh while still delivering the goods then this is the film to avoid. Devon Sawa is your star here, the bad boy who learns a valuable lesson about scamming on the hot chick. That hot chick is Jaime (James) King, who plays Angela, the girl of nerdy stalker boy Ethan's (Jason Schwartzman) dreams. Ethan bribes Dave (Sawa) and his two friends Sam (Jason Segel) and Jeff (Michael C. Maronna of `The Adventures of Pete and Pete' fame) to play match maker between him and Angela, but Angela ends up falling for Dave and then the truth is spilled and hearts are broken, but we all know how it ends because we've all seen this done a million times before, except it's been done better, smarter and much funnier! I will say it was worth watching to see Laura Prepon from `That 70's Show' get her grove on...

This movie breaks away from the humdrum. Keeps you on your toes and lets you know, it is possible to still enjoy a cheap laugh or too. Sawa and "cool ethan" are the stars, but James King steals the show. Her beauty and charismatic presence are undeniable at pivotal parts of the show. I will watch this again!

Kudos to SINic for an excellent review. This movie is an incredible waste of time.
