  • March 31, 2007
    Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. Awful in every way.
  • November 6, 2006
    Sawa, Schwartzman and Laura Prepon are all good in this otherwise forgettable, bad, bad comedy.
  • June 11, 2008
    Devon Sawa is a slacker who falls in love with a girl, girl then finds out he's been up to something and this is twisted so it...I'm bored of talking about the plot. Let's move onto characters: high school "slackers" who get away with lots of stuff and Jason Schwartzman playing a...( read more) guy who goes beyond creepy to plain dislikable and weird - and not in a good way. I think I laughed once if that's any recommendation, but it might have been about something else.

    Jason Schwartzman's really really bad move.

    This might be one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen... But it's pretty amusing and got two of my fave. actors in it (Jason Schwartzman and Jason Segel).

  • July 10, 2009

  • June 24, 2009
    not a good movie, but it can be mildly entertaining if you catch it.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

The whole thing feels completely disposable -- headed for the shower drain of comedy, as it were. full review

February 1, 2002
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

A discordant comedy that gives bad taste a bad name. full review

February 1, 2002
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

The tastelessness of its jokes is nothing compared to its sheer cluelessness. full review

February 1, 2002
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

There really is no good excuse for Slackers. full review

February 1, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It made me feel unclean, and I'm the guy who liked There's Something About Mary and both American Pie movies. Oh, and Booty Call. full review

January 31, 2002
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Noteworthy solely for its thuddingly crude humor. full review

January 18, 2002
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

You may want to toss a gooey wad of something at the screen. full review
