Does for psychedelics what "Boogie Nights" does for cocaine; displaying in graphical detail the ultimate failure of drugs as an escape route.- Film Threat

Garofalo is amazing, as always, and the film is almost about her as much as the leads. The recreation of the casts' high school years is wickedly funny and dead on.- Film Threat

Best of all, Robert Downey Jr., as Rick's seedy private eye provides a little comic relief at his own expense.- Film Threat

Hey, I'm not saying it's bad. It's kind of entertaining, what I can recall of it after two days. It's, uh, okay. Just okay, though.- Film Threat

At least the 20 people who saw it with me -- found it hysterically funny. On the other hand, they all seemed pretty stoned.- Film Threat

At least the studio hired enough likable scene-stealing actors and comedians to carry the bloated carcass of this film over the course of two hours.- Film Threat

After half a century, does the story hold up? Eh, pretty much. In the end, the story doesn't really matter that much as this is really a vehicle for the amazing visuals.- Film Threat

Aside from all the known material on public record the filmmakers chose not to use, Howard isn't even capable of believably bringing this off.- Film Threat

It's a harsh lesson, but this movie is more than able to grab and hold your attention for it. I just wouldn't bring a date.- Film Threat

Gallo transcends the medium in a manner I only associate with David Lynch. It's brilliantly spooky.- Film Threat

In the end, the whole shebang comes off like a bunch of snotty, rich white kids screwing each other and screwing each other over.- Film Threat

Unfortunately, the script is a light romantic comedy and unwilling to go the extra distance to really make it stick.- Film Threat

Scorcese has made one of his best and most personal films...Kundun is also mercifully free of white teachers or saviors, such as, oh, say, Brad Pitt?- Film Threat

This is a big, silly film. Is it full of explosions and one-liners? Of course. Is it entertaining? Of course.- Film Threat

World Traveler did seem completely aimless for the first third. However, once I comprehended where Freundlich was going with this, I began to really enjoy where the film was taking me.- Film Threat

While we do get a bit of gore, the movie is really about this wacky bunch of people jumping on each other's nerves, kind of a zany hero's journey.- Film Threat

Some of the acting may not be the best and many of the points aren't made with a soft touch, but damn, I can't think of another film about addiction with a more accurate view from the inside.- Film Threat
