This is a fun movie. It's about life happening; everyone being themselves on New Year's Eve. It's hilarious. I saw it the day it was released in theaters and purchased it on DVD as soon as it was available. This is... Full review

The first time I saw it, I watched it immediately again. The humor and weird connections between people are just too much! Yeah, the pace of the movie could have been a little quicker, but it's a comedy. Did it make... Full review

In the big picture of this little film, it's a minor but glaring anachronism -- Kevin's sideburns and soul patch. The film is set at the end of 1981, not 1991. Only Dizzy Gillespie sported a soul patch in 1981.... Full review

Smouldering comedy fails to ignite....That's not to say it's a good movie....Cigarettes burns itself out well before midnight.....it's a great snapshot of a youthful subculture in which verbally slick people speak at the decibel level of small jet aircraft....Eric the Scottish artist is terrible in bed.... ...

As people, they are no doubt much smarter and funnier than the cretins in this film.....The witless screenplay provides its characters with aimless dialogue and meaningless confrontations....The cast of ``200 Cigarettes'' reads like a roll call of hot talent..... ... Full Review

Cigarettes is a pleasant movie, but it's not a great movie. Janeane Garofalo is always a pleasure to watch, but she's hardly in this film. Most are painful and embarrassing to even watch. ... Full Review
