Summary: ok
Review: im sure your aware that the plot isnt that great, a kid moves out of small town into big city, kid is a major dork and no one likes him, kid likes a girl, girl is love with professor, plot thickens...guy is liked later by girl, girl makes guy cool, professor doesnt like guy. but this move is good. it may have its silly, moments of mr nice guy crap, but it a move you can watch with a loved one. a definite date move i would say. i rented this movie first, but after seeing it, i knew it was one for my dvd collection.

Summary: The Title Says it all. An Utter Embarrassment.
Review: This film is Not the Raucous College Comedy that the Preview showed us, it is a Bland, Lifeless, Wannabe Romantic Comedy. Totally Humorless, Mostly Torturous, It's a Real Comedy Dead Zone. Amy Heckerling has misfired Majorly on this one, after "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Clueless" being the Likeable, Fun Films that they are, her latest effort is even more of a Disappointment. We all have the Right to expect more from her, and with "Loser"; our expectations are far from met. A few jokes here and there aren't much to ask, but the lame script denies them. The Attempts at Comedy are either Done to Death, Cruel, Ill-Timed, Poorly Executed or just plain Stupid. The Only time I even Heard Laughter was when Jason Biggs falls down the steps, which is in the Preview (trust me, I didn't laugh). Fall Over Humor, when done with the greatest of care and restraint, can be a Comedic Goldmine, but only if it's done Maturely. Here it is done Amateurishly. Jason Biggs looks Embarrassed, Mena Suvari looks Bored. Greg Kinnear is a Breath of Fresh Air as a Lecturer who causes some trouble for our would-be Love Birds. He manages a few Chuckles without really trying and he makes the movie almost Bearable. (and I Stress the word Almost) If you feel you still have to see it to make up your own mind, consider yourself fore-warned. "Loser" will make you Laugh, Cry and Cheer... For All the Wrong Reasons.

Summary: Uh...Don't bother
Review: Ok, I actually first saw this movie with my friend at the theather because I got free passes for a screening. I saw it thinking it was pretty decent and got on with my life. Later when I actually thought about it I found a ton of reasons to dislike the movie. One that really annoyed me was Mena Suvari's role. I happen to like her but her role totally bashed women. She dressed kinda wacky and different which I totally thought was cool, but she let her teacher/boyfriend treat her like garbage. Also Jason Biggs; what's up with him? I don't even need to go into further detail. I usually like teeny movies but this about the worst one I've seen. Through out this trash and rent a great movie....

Summary: a fun little movie
Review: I was shocked at all the bad reviews for this film...first off, Amy Heckerling is a great director and with the exception of Look Who's Talking Too, has delivered nothing but great movies. I wasn't too fond of the previews when this film first came out, and told myself that I wouldn't bother watching it, as most of America did, evident through the film's poor box-office performance...surprising that not even the star power of Jason and Mena, fresh of the success of American Pie saved this one at the box office, although I thought that Heckerling's name might make a difference....it didnt....anyway, I finally caught this at a friends house one boring afternoon and surprise surprise, I didnt just like it, I really loved it...it was an enjoyable and fun movie...its not really funny, but it is sweet, I absolutely fell in love with Jason Bigg's character....dont we wish all guys were that great??? I will definitely recommend this film, it was great...

Summary: An adorable film... three and a half stars
Review: Well, this is one of those movies that you can be sure what the ending is just by watching the trailer. But the movies are guilty pleasures, and this one's the best of 'em all ("Boys and Girls", anyone? Ugggh!). Those roomate jerks that Paul has are all great (yeah, yeah...), and Mena'a carictor is way better than that sweet virgin thing she did in "American Pie". Also there's great, solid music all around, but for some reason there's no soundtrack (!). See this movie id you want a feel-good film or just something to watch with your BF/GF.

Summary: A Slow Moving Film
Review: This movie has it's romantic moments and it's funny moments and then theres the boring moments. At times I found myself wondering when this embarrassment would end and how much longer till the end of the movie! At other times I wished that the whole movie was like that! Mena Suvari and Jason Biggs make a cute couple! A cute but slow moving movie.

Summary: Every 13 years, Heckerling hits it big. But its only been 5.
Review: Perhaps the title I gave this review is a tad unfair. Loser is actually a very fun movie. I enjoyed it. It took me back to my freshmen year of college. It made me think fondly about crushes I had on girls, problems I had with teachers, not having enough financial aid and the idiot students that shouldn't even be able to pass a litmus test much less a college entrance exam. I identified with this movie. My inner college student identified with it the same way my inner high school student identified with "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." However, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Clueless" (Amy Heckerling's other major blockbuster) have a special humor that "Loser" is lacking. In truth, I identified with "Loser" much more than I did with "Clueless", however the script is much more subdued. In some ways, this is a good thing. After Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari both achieved critical acclaim with their breakout roles in "American Pie" and went on to star in the likes of "Boys and Girls" and "American Beauty" respectively, its nice to see that they are dynamic enough in their ranges as actors to perform in a simple, more subdued film. This movie is just that. Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Girl doesn't notice how sweet boy is. Boy attempts to sacrifice his own happiness for the girls sake. Girl and boy eventually end up together. I'm sorry if I have spoiled anything for you, but trust me, you've seen this film before. You've seen this film many times. You know the entire story the first time you see the sweet and lovable doofus look into the eyes of the cool and outrageous babe. You're supposed to know. It isn't the plot that's important here. Its the details. Its not the ending. Its how you get there. And how we get there in Loser is charming and touching, Its just the thing that you want for a lazy Sunday evening date at home, cuddling with your sweetie. Aside from Jason Biggs straining to portray a decent sweet guy and Mena Suvari straining to play a character who is not a virgin (I'm joking, actually Biggs and Suvari do a fine job of working outside of their stereotypical roles), the film also features Greg Kinnear, leaving his usual nice-guy role to play the arrogant Professor and cameos by Steven Wright, Dan Akroyd, Andy Dick, David Spade and Everclear. This isn't going to be remembered as an Amy Heckerling masterpiece, but you could do a lot worse than to watch this (for instance you could watch Look Who's Talking Too).

Summary: very slow- a waste of time
Review: I too was expecting a fun and cute movie- though not necessarily of the American Pie genre- and found an extremely SLOW and boring moving. I hated the roommates, why were they even in the movie? I found myself just praying the movie would end soon whether they got together or not- I didn't care, just end the movie! There are better ways to waste 2 hours, don't bother with this one.
