Slackers Reviews
This debut for helmer and vid vet Dewey Nicks and scribe David H. Steinberg, a feverishly naughty revenge comedy, is awful and subversively spunky at the same time.

If it's unlikely to stimulate the brain cells, it will almost certainly make you laugh out loud.

The less said about this, the better.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Mar 10, 2003
Calculated swill.

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.

When Sawa and King take centre stage, interest drops.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 6, 2002
Nicks and Steinberg match their own creations for pure venality -- that's giving it the old college try.
| Feb 5, 2002
Airs the same kind of randy, testosterone-fueled humor that has been a staple of comedies about college party guys since Animal House.

[I]t may be the first movie ever targeted to John Hinkley, about the only person I can see as the target audience.

The footage seems to have been tossed into the air and randomly reassembled when it hit the ground.
| Feb 2, 2002
There are laughs here, but easily as many groans.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 2, 2002
All in all, there's only one thing to root for: expulsion for everyone.
Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5 | Feb 1, 2002
Although no pastry is violated, this nasty comedy pokes fun at the same easy targets as other rowdy raunch-fests -- farts, boobs, unmentionables -- without much success.

It's hard to find the laughs in a story about three cheaters fighting a pervert.
| Feb 1, 2002
The whole thing feels completely disposable -- headed for the shower drain of comedy, as it were.
Full Review | Feb 1, 2002
A discordant comedy that gives bad taste a bad name.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 1, 2002
The tastelessness of its jokes is nothing compared to its sheer cluelessness.
| Feb 1, 2002
It's not even another teen movie. Its shamelessness is in a class by itself.
Full Review | Feb 1, 2002
Slack and uninspired, and peopled mainly by characters so unsympathetic that you're left with a sour taste in your mouth.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 1, 2002
Dave and his pals are so sleazy and shallow and take up so much screen time that Slackers is a turnoff despite Schwartzman's considerable efforts.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 1, 2002
