[...] In a way it's a different animal to the american pie franchise, slackers is more surreal. The basic premise of the film is a group of guys cheating their way through college using innovative ways, but alas, they get found-out and held to ransom buy the geek on campus. Either the gang hook him up with the target of his affection, or he will get them kicked out of school. The plot is a bit thin on the ground, but hey if your into these films your not really hooked up on 'plot', what you want is cheap laughs and this has plenty of them all served up in a well directed, well characterised and very off the wall comedy.

'Not another teen movie!' I hear you cry, but this is way different than films such as American Pie and Road Trip. This is not a bad thing though.
Jeff, Sam and Dave, 3 typical 'party-first and study-later' guys are in their final year of University. Upto this point they have managed to cheat their whole way through high school and college, but their little secret is about to blown wide-open by the campus geek Cool Ethan (Jason Schwartzman). Cool Ethan catches them cheating and threatens to get them kicked out of Uni, unless they get him Angela, and girl who he holds an wierd and twisted obsession for.
However, Dave (Devon Sawa) finds himself falling in love with Angela and must decide to choose the girl and face getting him and his friends kicked out of Uni, or helping Cool Ethan and missing out on true love.
Despite the romantic tendencies this film has, I recommend this film to anyone who likes to laugh as this is guaranteed to having you laughing from start to finish, all thanks to Cool Ethan!

Never before in the field of human film making has a film starring so few, made me laugh so much. Insane in parts, just crazy in others, this film will make you laugh so hard you might loosen your bowels.
Devon Swaha shows again that he can be brilliant in a comedy (see Idle Hands) and Jason Schwartzman hasn;t been this good since Rushmoore. With a supporting cast of funy, funny people this film delivers on all levels, just don't watch sober.

Junk
I love comedies, got all American Pie, Van Wilder and tonnes of others.
But I can only say that this is complete and utter crap.
Don't waste your time or money on this.

Not worth your time
I bought this Slackers DVD along with Fired Up and although neither is brilliant, the latter is at least entertaining, albeit not overly funny. Read more

Achtung!
For a comedy this film is very sparse on humour... some fart jokes, some falling over, nothing remotely witty about the dialogue or the characters. Read more

Who hired van dorren
A few funny gags of which a couple are hilarious and an energetic young cast and two great cameos, but what on earth made them think Mamie van Doren was a good choice. Read more

Shameless
I recommended a film 'Slacker' to a friend of mine, a groundbreaking movie that gave it's name to the type of people depicted in the film, the only film ever to have its title fall... Read more
