    200 Cigarettes had a great tag line. " It's 11:59 on New Year's Eve, do you know where your date is?"
    This is a exceptionally amusing nineties comedy. It is also one that is on my all time favorites list. The story follows a group of twenty somethings on New Year's Eve in 198...( read more)1. Anyone that holds the 80s dear to their hearts, will enjoy this film. It's a story about friendship, love, and how all the little things we each go through are connected in some way.
    This movie cast's a ream of famous faces including both Ben and Casey Affleck, Dave Chappelle, Janeane Garofalo, Gaby Hoffmann, Courtney Love, Christina Ricci, Martha Plimpton, Kate Hudson, and Jay Mohr.
    200 Cigarettes includes all the 80s nostalgia we know and love. It is complete with the wacky costumes we somehow called fashion, those muenster filled pick up lines we've all heard dozens of times, a fabulous 80s soundtrack, and a cameo by Elvis Costello. It is certainly an entertaining party movie for all to take pleasure in!

    One of the first movies I have seen to be set on new years eve throughout the entire movie. There were different stories that all led up at the end which was good, and Paul Rudd completeted this piece with his hilarious depression and anger. Everyone wins at the end, and there is...( read more) a necrophiliac in it.

    A great mix of story lines. The characters, which include underrated actors like Paul Rudd and Casey Affleck, search for love on New Year's Eve.

    Very funny and a really great cast. makes you kinda wanna be around in the 80's. so glad i missed it though, the horrors of fashion. very fun, and entertaining.

    I had always thought this one would have turned out bad, but in the end, " 200 Cigarettes" along with a great cast to really deliver a good story with some great characters. Defently the pefect rental movie thats worth the rental price, but not quite worth the theater price. If y...( read more)ou a fan of Paul Rudd, Casey Affleck, Ben Affleck, Dave Chappelle, and Christina Ricci, then you should defently give this one a look. Fun movie with real situations.

Hit-and-mostly-miss retro comedy. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Seeing a film like this helps you to realize that actors are empty vessels waiting to be filled with characters and dialogue. full review

A succession of pointed little moments, nicely written by Shana Larsen and acted with comic assurance and sensitivity. full review
