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.

Full Review | Apr 3, 2009

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

| Feb 9, 2006

The less said about this, the better.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Mar 10, 2003

Calculated swill.

Full Review | Jan 20, 2003

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.

| May 26, 2002

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.

Full Review | Feb 4, 2002

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

Full Review | Feb 4, 2002

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/5 | Feb 1, 2002

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
