Summary: Fun ensemble flick
Review: This arty quirky film about a New Years Eve gone wrong in the mid- 80s is one of my favorites. Was the first time I saw Kate Hudson and she is so sweet and funny in this one.
Martha Plimpton is a riot as the overwrought hostess with a failed party on her hands.
Ben Affleck is actually semi-funny for once- he is trying desperately to get into someone's pants- watch and see who he starts the new year with.
Courtney Love and Paul Rudd are friends- she wants to be more but she scares him....

Indy gal J. Garafolo is her dark and dismal chain smoking wisecracking self and fun again.
Dave Chappel is the cabby who tells the tale.

Fun! Romantic comedy a guy will like!

Summary: Happy New Year!!

Summary: 200 Cigarettes Goes Up In Smoke
Review: This film has a great cast, but nothing else going for it besides. I was disappointed with the pointlessness and limp dialogue. I wasted eight dollars to go see a bunch of people do nothing but whine on New Year's Eve, get drunk and then get laid, waking up the next morning to discover just who they slept with while recovering from minor hangovers. I could go to a frat party and see the same thing for free. There wasn't even an hour of the reel gone, and I was terribly bored with the constant back and forth of party to party, listless characters and dragging scenes. I kept looking at their shots and martinis and frozen drinks, wishing I could have one so maybe I'd enjoy more of what I was watching. No luck, and I left the theater feeling very cheated. I advise that whoever reads this review remembers the part I said about feeling cheated, and really researches this movie before they buy it. You'll be wasting more than eight bucks!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 200 Stories with great characters!!!
Review: This is a movie with a lots characters and Stories, but you wont get confused, because it has a great script, that make you care for each character that appears on screen. There are all kind of thing happening in this movie to give a good review of it, is a lot like the movie GO, if you liked that movie, you will like this one for sure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BRAVO!
Review: This is one of the best orginial films of its time.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not so great!
Review: This is the worst movie with the best actors! Man, everyone in this movie rocks! As for the movie, that's another story. The only reason I kept watching it is because I hate stopping a movie once I've started watching it. I see that a lot of people who have reviewed it liked it, but I didn't, it got no recognition...and it deserved none. I DO NOT suggest renting this movie, much less buying it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good cast, bad movie!
Review: This movie doesn't mean nothing, no real plot, not very interesting, very boring, the story go no where, well not really except lots of people get into a party for New Year Eve, what the big deal! Not the movie of the year. Bad script. But the cast is good, maybe too many well know actors are in this movie, they focus in a lot of people and don't stay long enough in one person in particular, it seem like they thought the movie will be good because of the cast but it is not, big name actors cannot save a bad movie. In the cast you have stars like Ben Afleck, Christina Ricci who act very well, Courtney Love who is very good in my point of view, you have the brother of Ben Afleck, don't remember his name he his a good actor, you have other big names that I forget. But still like I said Big Names in a movie don't make the movie Good! It was very boring!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: VERY FUNNY
Review: This movie has a hilarious plot, characters are vibrant and funny and it is just plain fun to watch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great cast, enjoyable fluff
Review: This movie is a lot of fun. No, it is not profound. I really don't think it's trying to be. It has cast full of good actors who play their characters to a tee and never really take themselves too seriously. It's a good movie if you take it for what it is: Fluff. If you're going to watch this movie, don't expect profound insight and depth of character development... expect self absorbed characters, neuroses, and silliness. That's what you'll get. And in my opinion, sometimes that's enough. Sometimes it's a Shawshank Redemption day, but it's also okay to have a 200 Cigarettes night!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mediocre film with a few intruguing characters
Review: This movie is one of the more mundane films I saw in the theater this year, which was disappointing, since the 80's were such a good, unique time. Christina Ricci and Gaby Hoffman prove they have no talent for recreating accents. Courtney Love is the absolute standout performance of the cast, she is a dynamic and comical actress. It's sad that its attached to a movie that is such drivel... Looking forward to Courtney's next film...
