 | Slackers is a story about three college friends, who cheat to get through the college. But one day, college nerd Ethan (Jason Schwartzman), caughts Dave (Dewon Sava), one of the cheaters, helping his friend Sam (Jason Segel) to cheat. Ethan blackmails them to win over the school's most popular girl Angela (Jamie King). But Dave is also in love with Angela so the problem occurs. It's either the girl, or helping the friend out of the trouble. But in the end, Dave, Sam and Jeff (Michael Maronna), destroy Ethans blackmailing and Dave also gets the girl.
It's a pretty funny movie and it's worth checking it out. |

| The movie I just watched it was okay. There were two dudes going for the same chick one was some what I guess cool and the othe was nerdy. The nerd was played by Jason Schwartzmen and he mave as well been the movie because he was the only real bright spot. Some red head dude kept on cheating as did his two friends. The girls roomate was stupid and with a mix of many cuss words that somewhat lead to the nerdy kid also getting thrown out. As I said Schwartzmen is this movie completely |

| Sophomoric hijinx that fail to score many points in the way of comedy. It was a disappointment to see Jason Schwartzman reduced to playing a gross parody of his 'Rushmore' role in this pathetic film, which barely lifts itself above bathroom humor, and then falls flat on its face once more. The object of desire in this peurile flick is Jamie King, who finds herself caught between a pscyhopathic nerd (Schwartzman) and a two-bit con artist (Sawa). You decide whose worse, but since this film is told entirely from the POV of the two-bit con artist you can guess who wins in the end. While it provides fodder for the overstretched Comedy Network, it is hardly worth buying on DVD. |

| If you're looking for the the hilarious film about Austin oddballs, THIS AIN'T IT. Richard Linklater's opus (1991) is Slacker (without the final S).
Given that this one's about a trio of smug middle-class cheaters, I suppose the rip-off title is in keeping with the movie's theme.

| When I was in college, my roommates and I watched this flick 11 times in 10 days. Indeed we are fans and still remain so to this very day...
however...
I recently caught a showing on Encore, as luck would have it, and there were new scenes in the film! GASP! Why are these jewels erased from the DVD?! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS IS??? |
