Summary: The Best NY New Year's Eve film
Review: Being from NYC and living downtown in the 80s, I found this movie to be a true NYC experience on New Year's eve with the exception of never being able to find a taxi. I love the cameo by David Johansen as a bartender as well. It is a very fun-filled movie.

Summary: Fun!
Review: First of all, I don't know why critics were saying such horrible things about "200 Cigarettes". Okay, it may not be Oscar-worthy, but the cast is funny (especially Courtney Love as Lucy) and lovable. The film follows a bunch of young, 20-something people in East Village on New Years Eve 1981. The costumes are very eighties, the music is great and my favorite actress Kate Hudson was adorable in one of her first movie roles. The all-star cast; including Paul Rudd, Gaby Hoffman, Christina Ricci, Casey Affleck, Ben Affleck and Janeane Garofalo gives more stars than sneers. I also liked Martha Plimpton as cynical, grumpy Monica. The cameo by Elvis Costello was fine as well.

Summary: Definitely not for the philosophers among us...
Review: Following in the steps of The Wedding Singer, we are once again thrown back to the days of too much make up, with a charming and varied cast reminding us all too clearly of what the early 80s were like (whatever DID happen to Cindi Lauper?). The accents are too true, the scene is right, and while this certainly wouldn't garner any Oscars, the movie was still endearing and cute. Not very high accolades for any movie, but kudos to all the actors, who rolled well into their respective parts, from the wannabee bartender, to the cabbie still sportin' an afro (hey, these are the 80's man! Get ridda that thing!), to the neurotic from Ronkonoma. (Ronkonka who? ). I'm not sure what the whole point of the movie was, but then, that was the idea, perhaps: the intertwined lives of several folks, none the protagonist, each the star, in this one eventful New Years Eve of 1981. Watch it.... and I dare to count all the cigarettes...

Summary: ok
Review: For Me this movie was pretty bad. There was only one part that made me give it 3* is the ending when he was describing the party it was so FUNNY. OTHER THEN THAT IT'S BAD. I BOUGHT MY 200 CIGARETTES USED AND i THINK ALL WHO WANTS THIS SHOULD GO TO BLOCKBUSTER AND PICKED IT UP FOR 12.99.

Summary: I LOVE this movie
Review: Growing up in Manhattan's "village" in the 80's while frequenting the various streets and clubs these people go to, I totally relate to the characters experiences because I've seen "them" firsthand. This movie to me is a nostalgic flash-back to the 80's nightlife in downtown New York City. Not to mention - everytime I watch it - I find something else to laugh about!

Summary: Lots 'o stars.....but
Review: I could see exactly how it was going to end. True to 80's style movies. But if you're as sick of the 80's revival as I am, don't watch it! Nice cameo by Elvis Costello and Janeane Garafalo is always a scream.

Summary: Rated on the fun factor, but not a GREAT film
Review: I had to give this one 4 stars just because it is so fun. It is deeply flawed at points and as deep as a puddle, yet it is funny and still has some moving moments. The nostalgia factor works as well if you were out and about at the time. Affleck comes across a big dope, but that's okay (cuz I think he is). Ricci is great - why is she so underutilized? That girl has a power in her. Rudd is the sweet sort of everyman good guy and it suits him well. Love is, well, actually ... good here. I liked her and I felt for her character. Hudson is very, very funny, particularly in her scenes with Jay Mohr - they have great chemistry. Garoffalo is the best in a tart-tounged smaller part. Definitely worth a spin for an easy-on-the-eyes comedy.
Best line, Garoffalo in a moving cab trying to light a cigarette: These matches are disappointing me!

Summary: Very cool.
Review: I liked this because it was fun. I liked the people in it, the script was interesting and fun too. I liked the way it looked and thought the characters were very funny. Not all movies have to be totally serious people, they dont all have to perfact either. Sometimes its nice to relax and watch a movie and this one was perfact. Sweet, simple and funny.
