 | I caught this movie by accident at a neighborhood theater, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that good old Amy Heckerling had remade one of my favorites, The Apartment, with a dash of Ridgemont High added here and there. Maybe I'm biased because I know and love both of these films, but my guess is that Loser can stand on its own. Or maybe you should do a little homework and watch the original. It can only enhance the experience. |

| ITS YOUR CLASSIC BAD GUY GOOD GUY - GOOD GUY SAVES GIRL.
THE major thumbs down about this movie was the "room mates" and the excess use of gutter language at times. What makes this a GOOD movie though is its realistic presentation of issues.
I find that the honesty between the characters personalities drove the storyline and made for an overall interesting movie with a sarcastic overtone about the worlds rejection of truth, purity and innocence, both displayed in the Professer and the "room mates".Also worthy of note is the confusion the misplaced "MAIDEN IN DISTRESS" suffers from.Which leaves the masculine viewer completly relating to the "Loser" who is clearly the hero of the story.
This would be a good movie to preach from. Leaving out comments made in the movie for SURE but by mainly pointing out the situations and CONSEQUENCES of substance abuse,the possible compromises that can be made all in the name of the $, amoung other youth issues also portrayed in the movie.
IF ANYTHING enjoy the movie, recieve its warm humor and FEEL driven to support the under dog or all round nice guy next time you meet one. WILD AT HEART indeed!

| Rating | | | Date | February 28, 2005 | | Summary | Somewhat disappointing | Content
| There was just nothing outstanding about this movie. It was like every other teen movie out there, with Jason Biggs as the loveable loser, and Mena Suvari playing the vixen-like Dora, who has her own individual taste in clothes - and is sleeping with her college professor.
You feel sorry for the two main characters in this movie, including Jason's awful hair (is it a wig? is it extensions? is it about to fly away?), and Dora sleeping in an empty train station, because she missed the last bus home, or getting drugged, with what looks like suspiciously like a date-rape drug.
Most of the story is told in the trailer, and there's definitely not going to be any surprises, or twists at the end. The whole university/college stereotype is very OTT, with the drinking, drugs, and everything else, which probably goes on, just not as much as that.
The movie is also very nineties, with the 'Loser' sign (making your fingers into an L, and holding it against your forehead, as shown on cover) which just about everyone does at some point during the movie. The soundtrack is very typically nineties too, including the #1 hit from Wheatus (whatever happened to them?) "Teenage Dirtbag", being the main song. Some more of the more memorable songs include: "What's My Age Again" by Blink 182; "Blue" by Eiffel 65; "Bad Touch" by The Bloodhound Gang; "Pretty Fly For A White Guy" by Offspring; "Magna Cum Nada" by The Bloodhound Gang; "She's So High" by Tal Bachman (more recently done by Norway's Pop Idol winner, who I forget the name of, but he was damn ugly!); and "Scarborough Fair" by Simon & Garfunkel.
This is an average movie, written and directed by Amy Heckerling of Clueless fame. I just hope Clueless is better than this. |
