Synopsis :
I have no fucking idea.

Review :
I've been a fan of Richard Linklater. He's the dude who gave us such films as "Dazed and Confused." This was his maverick film. When it began, I was relatively drunk & in good spirits. After five minutes of viewing, it became crystal clear that I'd want to bitchslap ten thousandfold every cast member with a line. They're so inane and naturalistic that they're caustic. I will hate this film, yet am I still watching. I hate this film, yet I put it on pause when I went to get another drink.

Can anyone explain these events?

Rating : *****/10
Verdict : Wow. I hate this flick. With hatred so pitch that black holes cower in my presence. And I can't stop watching.

That's a pretty good desctiption of my response as well (although I suspect my own hatred is just a pale imitation when compared to what Malcolm calls hatred ... not just in this case but in general).

I watched this movie whenever it came out on video.

I dont really remember anything about it. I have some memory of it being mediocre?

If Malcolm's hatred could be described as whole milk with vitamin D, yours would be skim.

The viewer just follows people around some boring-ass small town in the late '80s and you get to listen to their idiotic banter about what happens in a boring-ass small town.
