If you like teenage/college humor and dirty jokes, this is your movie. The whole movie is basically goofy college humor and most movies like that don't really have a well thought out movie. With this they had all of that... Full review

By Patrick Z. McGavin | Special to the Tribune Not only is "Slackers" painfully bad, but it's also about as morally unpleasant as a teen sex comedy can be.
Slackers" is offensive, incompetent junk.
King is an attractive actor

I expected little other than yet another boring, stupid, gross teen movie that might find some redemption in the casting of Devon Sawa and Jason Schwartzman.
Of course, that doesnt excuse the garbage were forced to endure, and in no way is it a worthwhile movie just for containing some interesting subtext.

What makes the film interesting (and ultimately elevates it into watchability) is Schwartzman's portrayal of the self-styled "Cool Ethan".....unfunny, it remains watchable thanks to Schwartzman's dependably insane performance and the odd inspired moment.....The support cast are very good, particularly King, who has no trouble enabling audiences to see where Ethan is coming from (though whether you'll be compelled to make dolls from her hair or shave your chest hair into an "A" is another matter)..... ...

There are a lot of good movies in theaters right now.....Sawa is Dave, a professional cheater and con man.....The classic "hair gel" scene involving Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz in "There's Something About Mary" was funny....The only originality the movie brings to this formula is to make it incomprehensible, through the lurching incompetence of its story structure.....Slackers" stars the previously blameless Devon Sawa.... ...

Slackers' simply an embarrassment....The first thing wrong with Slackers is the title, shamelessly stolen from the far superior 1991 Richard Linklater film Slacker.....Such moments emerge almost by accident from the torrent of quirks, tics and weirdness the actor unleashes....Among the very worst features of Slackers is its repellant use of women;.... ...
