Summary: I'VE SEEN WORSE
Review: I'm a huge Cindy Alexander fan and since her music is in this movie, I had to buy the DVD. Her music is better than the movie, but the movie really wasn't all that bad as some other reviewers have said. It's kind of a kinky idea to begin with and any "normal" person who is entertained by all the things they WOULDN'T DO will have a problem taking their eyes of the screen. It's like you can't help but wonder what these girls are gonna do next. The movie could have had better production value, but all in all, I was still entertained and certainly not bored. The soundtrack is great by the way - lots of cool indie artists.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: Only Feminist would enjoy this this movie.
Review: If you ever wanted to know what a feminist might do, look no further than this waste of a movie that make men look like trash. Since i am not a feminist, i hate this movie because it is not even done good to enjoy it. I mean if u going to do a feminist movie, make it a good movie ok. This one has bad direction...very amaturish. I was bored to sleep.

Like i said, if u r a feminist....u prolly like it regardless of how bad it was done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best "bad girl" movies ever made.
Review: In most Hollywood movies all you see are the boys doing bad things...drinking, taking drugs, having sex...its all the same. However, in The Smokers the audience sees how girls act bad...drinking, doing drugs, and having sex. This movie is a little out of touch, I can't say I, myself as a girl, have ever pulled a gun on some guy 'cause I wanted to have sex and he didn't, and I don't know of anyone who ever has, but the rest of the sex, the drugs, the partying, the drinking....all how it was when I was in high school. This movie kicks ..., but if you don't like the begining or the middle, the end will diffently make you like the whole movie...if your a girl, most men will probably watch this movie and just snicker.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The only thing remotely redeeming about this movie.....
Review: is the soundtrack, especially the songs by Cindy Alexander. Save yourself some money and go buy her cd's instead. I guess the clothes were kinda cool. Here's the clincher though....it's sooooo bad, you can't stop watching it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A waste of time and rental money.
Review: It really was all that bad, except it really had nothing to do with feminism. Haha.

The plot is weak, and the actors really horrible. Some of the scenes may make you want to shake a finger, because really, they mostly are just ***** teenage girls; but the majority I just recomend a sick bag. Yes it really was that bad.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An Untapped Resource
Review: JUST finished watching this movie and was both taken aback by its shock value and how fantastic this movie was. I started watching it and, despite being turned off by the amount of pot-smoking involved, was still sucked in. Every girl feels like these three did- maybe not to their extent- but definitely small glimpses of the idea of being in control; the idea of having a second where she wishes to not feel the stigma of society's role for women as the weaker sex should hit home. (Wow, sounds like some drunk psychology major.) All in all, the solemn feeling sprinkled with sexual tension, tender moments, small chuckles, and glimpses of the other end of the rainbow (in Loeb's character) truly left its mark and hit the nail home that hope and patience should always be maintained when dealing with the one we wish for.
Question for the cast and crew, though: Loeb, producing and acting? Anything else to look for him in? (Recognize and appreciate most of the other main characters.)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: There was a plot and then there was none.
Review: Most indie movies are bad, but in a good way. This isn't the case with "The Smokers". It had some interesting colorful charectors that began an interesting colorful story, then stopped before the movie ended. In conclusion, if your a Dominique Swain fan, it's worth watching. I know that Keri Lynn Pratt has a little bit of a following. Busy Phillipps hasn't done to much (Dawson's Creek, Freaks and Geeks). All in all, it's worth it if your interested in any of these three actresses. If your a Thora Birch fan, just fast forward to her 3 or 4 parts.

Summary: A modern masterpiece!
Review: Not since "A Clockwork Orange" has a movie been so emotionally gripping...so memorable...so brilliant. I never thought I'd see another movie of that caliber ever to hit any screen ever again, but I was proved wrong. Along came...The Smokers. *pauses in awe*

The other day, when I was at my local video store, I noticed a copy of this wonderous flick in the 99-cent bin. (Actually, several copies.) I looked at the cover. Three girls standing, trying to look threatening! I cried "MARVELOUS!" and applauded right then and there. I got funny looks from everyone in the store, but I didn't care. I bought it, took it home, and popped it in my DVD player.

5 minutes later...I had to shut it off, just to regain my senses. The grainy photography...the outlandish makeup...the glorification of weed...the stoned laughter...NO ONE HAS EVER PUT OUT SOMETHING AS BEAUTIFUL AND GENIUS AS THIS!!!

After I got myself back together, I once again hit "Play". What a feast for the mind! This is to sight what Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" is to sound! And when I heard the brilliant line "And to all a good high!", I shut it off once again, ran outside to my porch, and proclaimed, "I, MR. BUCKLEY, HAVE JUST HEARD THE BEST LINE EVER USED IN A MOVIE!" and got funny looks from the neighbors. But that was okay. I went back in and hit "Play".

Well, it was magnificent. The whole building burning down in the end was a stroke of brilliance. In case you don't understand, this whole movie was to lambaste politics as a whole...biting satire about the state of affairs the economy is in. And for that, it is genius.

If you believed a word of that review, then please do me a favor and jump off of a tall building. And make sure to take this wretched, boring, mundane, nonsensical, idiotic piece of claptrap "movie" with you. Oh yeah, and go ahead and click the "Not Helpful" button.
