    Offbeat, stylish and packed with some wonderfully bizarro moments.
  2. A comedy so lazily hip and so laid back that it often seems to be asleep.

    None of it works, except for some moody cinematography, the on-screen charisma of lead actor Brad Pitt, moussed to the max as Johnny Suede, and the sheer likability of a few of his co-stars. [05 Feb 1993]
