Product Description

Eddie Kaye Thomas (Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay), Kip Pardue (The Wizard of Gore, Thirteen) and Josh Cooke (TVs Big Day and Committed) star as twenty-something pals circa 1996 who revisit their small-town roots to attend the funeral of their high school friend Bender. The guys spend a wild weekend reminiscing over football, booze and babes while struggling with one buddy s self-destructive lifestyle, another s seemingly perfect life and the other s humiliating insecurities. Hilariously funny yet genuinely thought-provoking, Wasted is a 90 s alt-rock reminder that sometimes the hardest part of growing up is having to let go.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Film, September 9, 2009

By	Brian D. Altarac - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I originally first randomly fell upon this movie while watching HBO. I started watching it maybe 30 or so minutes after it had started, but really enjoyed it. I rarely purchase DVD's, but I enjoyed this film so much I wanted to have it on DVD. I got to watch the film in it's entirety and really love this film. The film is still pretty fresh in my mind since I watched it a few days ago, so I'll try to give it an accurate review.

The films 'feel' is like Dazed & Confused. It feels sort of like a coming of age movie, although it's hard to say if any of the characters have developed in some way by the end.

The film takes place over three days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday).

I felt like I was really able to relate to the characters in the film. Mitch and Dixon seem to be really struggling with the actual death of their friend Bender, where as Stan is dealing with things going on in his life.

I felt as if the movie made sense, maybe it leaves you with something to be desired, but it certainly stirs up familiar feelings within the viewer. There isn't really anything special or unique about the characters, not that that is a bad thing. It's a bit of a sad movie, and I believe this is the direction the director wanted to take it.

It's not really about anything, it's just a glimpse into these characters normal, and perhaps even stagnant lives.

It's hard to describe what this movie is trying to achieve, in that it's quite possibly trying to achieve nothing, and perhaps portraying how life is actually like. I think it's a great story though, it's very simple, but superb.

Eddie Kaye Thomas' character Stan seems to be a big focus of the movie, and the emphasis on his relationships (or lack there-of) with girls is one many can relate to, albeit sad.

Anyone who would consider themselves to even slightly be a person of 'depth' will understand and enjoy this movie, I strongly suggest getting it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't follow the plot, January 15, 2009

By	Anonymous "Country Music Fan" (Country Music, USA) - See all my reviews

This movie made absolutely no sense...I couldn't follow the story line, let alone understand what the movie was all about. I'm not sure what the plot or purpose of the picture was supposed to be because the movie was very scattered and the story line didn't make any sense. Also, there is way too much usage of inappropriate language in this film.
