Summary: one of the best movies i've seen in a long time
Review: 200 Cigarettes is an outstanding flashback to a pleasantly disturbing time when the music was good, and the clothes were terrible. This movie takes you there via lovable characters, a wonderfully funny dialogue, and parties that make you miss the eighties. I can't help but to tell all of my friends and everyone I see on the street to see this movie over and over. 200 Cigarettes is my new favorite!

Summary: You need to see this
Review: 200 cigs is one of the most fun and invigorating movies of its era. Only a hardcore cynic could fail to enjoy this one. Lively, burdened, and infinitely interesting (in a mundane way) cast make this a "must see". I'm not kidding!!

Summary: Sweet nostalgia.......
Review: A bunch of young adults looking for the best new year eve party.... Hmmm.... Maybe not the most original story-line, but this movie was surprisingly fresh, funny and a little sad! Good entertainment, especially if you grew up in the late seventies/ early eighties. The soundtrack will remind you of the best years of your life. Recommended.

Summary: An entertaining movie, worth seeing
Review: A good movie worth seeing at least once, but it's not one of my top ten favorites or anything. The soundtrack, however, is quite good and I listen to it all the time. Tons of eighties hits, lots of memories...

Summary: HAPPY NEW YEARZ!
Review: A little slow getting started, but hey, I loved this movie! Hearing Christina Ricci's accent at the begginning of the film threw me off a bit. But all the characters in 200 cigarrettes transformed into highly adorable, funky, quirky, 80's type personalities, (pause!), cool people on a mission to party like it's 1999. There! I said it! I especially liked Martha Plimpton's character. I was feeling so worried when no one was showing up for her party.This film is an engaging look at one night in NYC, (actually filmed in "real time" I'm assuming). It carries you along on this seemingly ill-fated New Years Eve, where everyone has got love on the brain. Primary mission: find someone special to share New Years Eve with. Who can't relate to that?! With the Millineum coming up close, this is a perfect movie to get into the spirit of things. And if you don't have that someone special in your arms that night, watch this movie. It makes perfect company.

Summary: An enjoyable dissection of one night in 1980's SoHo
Review: A very funny and insightful examination of young adults all looking for love, happiness and meaning. The film takes place on new year's eve, 1981, and follows many different young people who somehow all eventually end up at the same party (which the hostess wakes up to find she slept through.) Elvis Costello makes a cameo and provides a running joke in the last third. The soundtrack is great--all late 70's early 80's pop and new wave. And the one who steals the show is Dave Chappelle as the cab driver who manages to give a ride to practically every character at some point, dispensing wisdom along the way, on everything from friendship and destiny to life before an afro and how to "get booty." (smiling at a girl is very important, as is avoiding talking about death--"Everyone knows they're gonna die someday, they just don't want to hear it from you.") Ben Affleck is amusing. Oh, and Courtney Love was actually bearable. All in all, a very smart, enjoyable ride.

Summary: ricci rickitty voice!
Review: as already said Christina Ricci's voice really throws ya at first..but after that its a really enjoyable film mixing lots of characters but never getting boring..in a way its not that different to the teen film "Cant Hardley Wait" just the decades are different...one annoyance though.....cmon people you could have at least tried to make Elvis Costello look like he did in the 80's! soundtrack rules too

Summary: What a GREAT movie!!!!
Review: As I was flipping through the channel guide to see what was on TV last night, I saw this movie was on and figured "What the heck, it sounds like fun." This movie was more than fun, it was INCREDIBLE!!! First there's the music. This soundtrack should be a staple for anyone who was around during 1981. Given that I was a freshman in college at the time, this music brought back many wonderful and fond memories of a time less encumbered by responsibility. I found myself, as well as my partner, dancing in our chairs when another great song came on. The story itself was nothing less than wonderful. Who can't relate to finding "Mr or Ms. Right" for New Year's Eve? Watching Martha Plimpton go into nuclear meltdown because no was was showing up to her party was one of the highlights of the movie. Her reaction to finding out what a success her party was after passing out put her on the same level of comedic genius as Lucy, Whoopie and Meg. Christina Ricci was, as usual, bright, funny and insightful as the young girl trying to find her cousins party as she and her uptight girlfriend (Gaby Hoffman played to the extreme!) get lost in the bowels of The Village. Their New Yawk accents were spot on and top drawer. While not wanting to ignore the rest of the cast (ie Ben Affleck, Jay Mohr and Kate Hudson)who were all excellent, the story I loved the best was the subplot between Courtney Love and Paul Rudd. I almost wet my pants watching a drunken Love belt out the lyrics to "Looking Through the Eyes of Love" from "Ice Castles" and cheered out loud when she and Rudd finally got together. All in all I would STRONGLY reccomend both the movie and the soundtrack. It will make you laugh, cry and, in the end, you'll be happy that you spent time with these wonderful characters as they tell their story.
