I suppose one's opinion on this movie will be dictated by one's appetite for shallow degenerate narcissistic characters portrayed as "eccentric" and having any character arc or change or plot substituted for out in place of a litany of 70's music. If that's your thing, the late 90s early 2000s seemed to produce a litany of not quite art films which took on this very flavor, this being a depressingly on-the-nose representative. In some ways this movie is every bit as shallow and superficial as 12 angry men, another movie about avatars of stereotypes bumping into each other.
If on the other hand the people in this movie represent people you'd never like to know or even meet, grifters of psychobabble if you will, then i think it probably wise not spending 90 minutes with their screen equivalents. That the movie turns at every opportunity from exploring the real world consequences of such horrific behavior in favor of up beat 60s and 70s rock just puts an exclamation point on how un-serious the writers (and i assume the source material and equally self-absorbed writer) take anything. There is no weight to anything here. Nor is it particularly entertaining.
I suppose the acting is quite effective because otherwise the characters couldn't be so annoying. Skip this turd.
1/10.
