Summary: Loser indeed
Review: This is one of those movies that will make you feel like you've just wasted an hour and a half of your life that you'll never get back. Don't make the same mistake I did, don't buy/rent it!!

Summary: The Worst Movie of the Year in a Year of Bad Movies!
Review: Oh boy! This movie flat out sucked. So Jason Biggs plays this guy, Paul, who is moving to New York City for his first year of school. He gets there and he can't make any friends. His roommates are down right mean to him and no one else will give him the time of day. Except for Dora (Mena Suvari). She's a nice girl just trying to make her way in the world. He falls in love with her. Big surprise! Too bad she's having an affair with her jerk of a professor (Greg Kinnear).

My biggest problem with this film is that Paul is not a loser. He's a regular nice guy. It's just that his roommates are a bunch of jerks. They're not just mean; they're cruel. So instead of laughing, I felt bad for Paul. It made me sad. That wasn't what the movie was trying to do. His roommates are also date rapists, but that's all I have to say about that.

Mena Suvari's character, Dora, is just an idiot. First of all, her favorite band is Everclear. Warning bells went off right there. She works in a strip club as a drink girl and is offended when guys hit on her. Get with the program babe! What did you think was gonna happen? She wastes her time with Greg Kinnear. The list goes on and on.

Amy Heckerling sure did a slipshod job on this film. The characters are all unappealing and the plot is rehashed, not to mention the fact that I didn't laugh once. This was the most unenjoyable film of the year.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Loser
Review: Loser is supposed to be a comedy, but I didn't find it very funny. The "humor" offered is dark and makes you want to more feel sorry for the kid than to laugh at him. This movie isn't even funny on accident. Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari may both be talented, but no one could make a good movie out of this script. If you want to watch something funny definitely buy or rent something else!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Seen "The Apartment"? Then You've Seen "Loser."
Review: The plot of the movie starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine, and the plot of the movie starring Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari are one and the same. Hapless loser (Lemmon, Biggs) gets picked on by the guys at work/roommates in college, while carrying a torch for pretty girl (Maclaine, Suvari) who's enmeshed in an affair with boss/college professor (Greg Kinnear in LOSER). When girl nearly overdoses, loser comes to rescue.

Not that it's a bad movie; there are worse things that could be remade. And Suvari's hot; too bad she'd married. But it's a shame more people in Hollywood can't be original.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good movie.
Review: This was a good movie but there was one main reason why I liked it. Yes it was a funny story, good plot and all but thats not why I loked it so much. The reason I liked it so much was because Everclear had a guest appearence in it, and well I love Everclear. Hey I'm going to by this viedo for that one reason.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Charming Comedy is No 'Loser'!
Review: Amy Heckerling's latest teen comedy, 'Loser', is an old-fashioned charmer where nice guys finish first, sweet girls end up making the right choices, and pushy 'users' get their just desserts! Perhaps nobility is passe in films today, but 'Loser' makes a great case for working class heroes who succeed by 'doing the right thing'.

Paul Tannek (Jason Biggs) is a farm boy who wins a scholarship to a college in New York City. Bright, awkward, and shy, and possessing the worst haircut since Adam Sandler's in 'Little Nicky', he accepts his family's celebration of his success with embarrassment, and a fear of failure, but his father (Dan Aykroyd, who is wonderful in his brief scenes) offers simple advice: "Listen to people, look them in the eye. Be a friend, and you'll succeed."

Cut to New York City (which has never looked more beautiful), and Paul's worst fears are coming true. His dress is ridiculed, his roommates are 'too cool' jerks who take advantage of him while dissing him, and his instructors, particularly Professor Alcott (Greg Kinnear, at his smarmiest!) snub him imperiously. Paul is lonely and frustrated, which makes a simple act of kindness by fellow student Dora Diamond (Mena Suvari, in her best performance, to date) take on special significance to him. Diamond is a kindred spirit, although she has been manipulated into believing Professor Alcott loves her, and has become his clandestine lover.

As both of their lives take downward turns (he gets thrown out of his dorm, she loses her waitress job), they develop a platonic friendship (he is far too much a gentleman to attempt to break up a relationship!). He becomes her 'guardian angel', protecting her, and the film becomes a guessing game of when she will finally realize they belong together!

'Loser' features a lot of very funny cameos, by Andy Dick, David Spade, Andrea Martin, Colleen Camp, many others, and, to Heckerling's credit, these 'guests' never detract from the positive message of the film.

This makes a great date movie (particularly if your date loves kittens!), and is a 'feel-good' flick you can enjoy again and again! I loved it, and I think you will, too!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Why is everyone bagging this movie?
Review: Though it's definately not Amy Heckirling's best film (check out Fast Times at Ridgemont High' for that), it's not a bad movie. And though Mena and Jason have both done better for themselves (American Beauty and American Pie respectively), it's not a waste of your time. Maybe it's not a buying type of movie. But at least rent it. It's truly a hidden gem. It got lost at the theaters this summer. I saw it with some friends because we're all in love with Jason Biggs (even though his hair was a monstrosity in itself). Basically it's about a very smart, but not exactly rolling in dough type of kid. He gets made fun of by his beer-swilling, sterotypical roommates. He doesn't get any of the girls. Then he meets Dora. Dora has it just a bit rougher than Paul, considering Paul's on a schlorship and she's, well, not. Not to mention the fact that she has a not so innocent relationship with a professor. I won't tell you anymore except that Paul must find another place to live when he gets kicked out of his dorm by those roommates mentioned earlier. Anyway's, although it's definately not her best film, this one isn't so bad. So just let go of your inhabitions annd see this little movie. It's definately worth your time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: big time loser
Review: When I first began to watch "Loser", I thought I would never enjoy it! For some reason, it seemed a little off-beat, and it felt like the movie wasn't really all together. I actually lost a lot of intrest in the movie from the beginning, and I only thought worse things would occur. Whenever a funny moment came, it never felt funny! The jokes didn't seem to fit in at the right moment. But soon after, the movie did get better. When Jason Biggs' and Mena Suvari's characters become friedly with each other, that's when I feel the movie picks up the pace. The movie actually began to catch my intrest. When I first heard of "Loser" before I saw it, I thought it would of been more then what I saw. I thought it was going to be this cute teen comedy. But possibly because the style was too much out there or the jokes never seemed to fit, I felt dissapointed. It wasn't this cute teen comemdy I expected at all. "Loser" is really not worth your time.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Loser
Review: Loser is a winning romantic comedy about two college outcasts who defy the odds and fall in love. It's about trusting yourself, taking a chance and turning your back on the people who take advantage of you.
