DVD Description
When smalltown boy Michael Alig (Macaulay Culkin) moves to New York he meets James St. James (Seth Green). In awe of this larger-than-life character and his decadent lifestyle, Alig determines to learn all he can from St. James and aspires to be even more fabulous. Soon his dream becomes a glittering reality. With his increasingly outrageous behaviour and the wild antics of his infamous ‘Club Kids’, the charismatic Alig becomes the number one promoter in clubland and a media celebrity. Before long however, the hedonistic parties and drug-fuelled existence take their toll. In a last-ditch attempt to recapture the spirit of excess, Alig makes one final outrageous gesture. But can he get away with murder?
This unbelievable but true story of the man who reinvented New York nightlife in the early 90s is a fascinating and outrageous expose of good times-turned-sour featuring brilliant performances from Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green as you’ve never seen them before.

i have been waiting to see this film for ages and when i finally did it wasn't what i was expecting but i wasn't really sure what i was expecting so it worked. . Macaulay Culkin couldn't of picked a character further away from his 'Home Alone' days but scarily he still looks like that same little boy just taller. He was good but not a patch on Seth Greens camp cross dressing james st james which for me made the film he was amazing and i feel it was more his movie even though macaulay was the headlining star. marilyn mansons cameo was funny in an 'oh my god' kind of way, chloe sevigny isn't really in it that much and natasha lyonne even less and even though the whole story is leading up to the murder off his drug dealer angel, you don't see much of his story either. The 1st half is a happy intro into the lives of the clubs kids and it makes you smile and laugh and want to be there. the 2nd half is darker and kind of makes you shut up and watch especially the scene with james and the rat watching the murder. maybe thats why the critics hated it because it was too happy one second and so screwed up the next I haven't read the book so i can't compare and i didn't really know anything about the club kids or scene but i want to now, it is all so amazing and colourful and made me want to dress up and go mad i even bought the soundtrack and i hate techno music but i love this.
it was a fabulous look at club life back then and i wish i was part of it. This should become a cult favourite and i am sure will bring back memories to anyone who was there to experience the real thing if you weren't this is a good taster.
Don't hate the film cause its trashy and in your face, love it cause it's trashy and in your face, like the song says "everything BAD is GOOD" .

great acting from macaulay culkin and seth green! really believable - i also find it hilarious that marilyn manson played christina - the whole cast looks great in drag! highly enjoyable, if a little unnerving!
