Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

As in the summary -- Ugh. There are obviously folks who seem to like this movie, or at least this sort of utterly irredeemable gutter swill.Yes it's filled with rather gross scenes -- that's okay. Yes, it's filled with crude sexual innuendo -- that's okay. It's also filled with stupid dialog, bathroom humor, unlikeable characters, and a remarkably incoherent plot. All okay -- those things can be overcome by making a movie funny, or at least mildly enjoyable.Nope on all fronts.Glorifying kids who are essentially "slackers," who have brains, but put more effort in avoiding using them in the conventional way than they probably would if they just went to class and studied -- stock American characters. Holden Caulfield, Animal House guys, Ferris and his day off, even some of the American Pie characters. Americans like rebels after a fashion.It's at least small consolation that a number of the actors/actresses in this have gone on to do far better work (it would be shocking were they to go on to worse).This movie is about seven years old as I write this, there have been quite a number of other movies that have participated in the great urge downward such as this. But at least some of those have basically had some funny moments -- those moments are absent here.

I enjoyed this movie mainly because I didn't have any expectations on it. I just programmed it on Sky on a Monday night. I watched it, and ended up liking a lot because it's a movie where the main characters and villains (if you can call them that way) are unlikely. What do I mean? The lead character played by Devon Sawa got the guts, the cool attitude, and the on-screen charisma. The antagonist, Jeff, is a freak with some anger problems and really gets on your nerves. Still, he works perfect as the pain in the ass.The supporting characters do their work pretty well and you can remember about your "Saved by the Bell" years.The situations are funny and will truly transport you to high school or college.The only problem I found about "Slackers" was it's over the top situations, and unrealistic climax. Hey, it worked as mindless entertainment at least.Oh, special mention for Jaime King who looks hotter as hell.Watch this movie if you're into the kind of humor that goes on high school.

this script is so tight and moves along so well. the performances are terrific, especially jason schwartzman. the title doesn't do the movie justice. it should be called scammers or cheaters. its original the way these cheaters use their skills as college cheats as a way to get a girl for a loser.the movie has a cult following amongst hipsters, and generally amongst people who 'get it'. if you're some boring 40 year old living in michigan, its not the movie for you, but if you're under 30 and have a sense of humor, a witty one, and like original movies (unlike American pie etc), rent slackers immediately.

Slackers is one of the most unbalanced, bizarre movies I have ever seen! Half is chock-full of sexually charged, psychedelic, often disturbing, gross-out gags while the other is a tame, boring, run of the mill love story (lots of adjectives, I know). Despite its flaws though I found that on second viewing Slackers became a considerably more respectable movie then I had originally thought. Firstly, it has a great soundtrack which includes an orchestrated version of "Baba O'Reilly" and a choir version of "the Sign". Secondly, it has Jason Schwartzman and Michael C. Maronna whose craziness plays well off the gross-out gags. Finally, I'd like to commend this movie for how insane it really is once you get passed the boring plot.Unfortunately I can't bring myself to like Devon Sawa, whose great guy that gets the girl is utterly pathetic and too counter crazy to help this movie. Whenever things start to pick up it seems his character is always there to slow them down again. Jason Segel is also a difficult actor to like because his high-school/college stoner persona is always clouded by his naivety. And while we're on the subject my college experience showed me more sarcastic college characters (like the T.A.) then ones naive enough to believe in "true love". The final problem I have is that although I like Jason Schwartzman, its hard to find his psychotic character all that funny.Final verdict is a 6 of 10
