Critics' Reviews

USA Today: Mike Clark
There are laughs here, but easily as many groans.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
Once again, we have a movie where the jokes are aimed at the least common denominator - meaning that to genuinely enjoy the experience of sitting through Slackers, you will need help from a controlled substance.Read Full Review »

The most that can be said for Slackers -- aside from the unqualified pleasure of Schwartzman's unfaked, puppyish weirdness -- is that it doesn't abandon its putrid ideals for the sake of a neat finish.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Jonathan Perry
