This film is fine if you're a college student who hasn't declared a major and enjoys sitting around stoned and discussing trivial ironies and popular culture.
The writing is definitely a little more intelligent than "Clerks," and the acting is certainly better. But it's a film that has very little to say about having very little to say.
It seemed more like an ego trip for writer/director Baughman which is too bad because he really did assemble a great cast and then forgot to develop the characters.
I wish I could recommend a film like this I like better. It's in the realm of Clerks/Dazed & Confused/Slackers, which are cult hits at best. But the whining of Generation X is getting old for this GenXer.
If you're a Parker Posey fan like I am, rent "Daytrippers" instead.
