Slackers out today 5/28. Is it any good? (1 Viewer)

[Mike Russell]

Just curious about this flick. It's got the incredibely beautiful Laura Prepon in it. Is it a renter or a buyer?

 

[Aaron Silverman]

I'd rent it first. It's NOT for everybody's tastes (I think it's very dull), and LP's only in it briefly, IIRC.

 

[Adam Tyner]

A renter, it would seem.

I received a screener in the mail today. I'll let you know what I think after I get a chance to watch it...

We're talking about this title and Laura's involvement in it over at the Weekly Roundup. I started it, I admit. :b I think you, Mike, should read that discussion. I'm almost convinced to buy this film based on what was posted there!

And I posted a nice pic of Laura, too!
Shame on me...

 

[Mike Russell]

Thanks Y'all.

Roger Ebert was right on the spot with his comment for this movie when he and Roeper appeared at The Tonight Show a couple of months ago when he stated this:

"Even if you live till you are 107 years old life is too short to see Slackers."

She's in it for only ten minutes.
Slackers is a piece of shit. For the 90 minutes I sat and watched this film, I wanted to hang myself in the theater (if only I had rope). It's not funny at all, it's just awful and disturbing. Everybody involved with the making of this film should be slapped and have their SAG/WGA/DGA/etc. cards taken away from them.
The movie is better than Crossroads and Resident Evil, but it's worse than Impostor and Rollerball.
