200 Cigarettes review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 10/21/12
Probably one of the best date flicks or A story that revolves around various personalities on New Year's Eve of 1981. Monica (Plimpton) is throwing a party in which she fears nobody will come, Kevin (Rudd) and Lucy (Love) are having sexual conflicts, Cindy (Hudson) becomes friends with a guy who has the capacity to let girls fall in love with named Jack (Mohr) and a vocal cab driver named cab driver (Chappelle) is outspoken on a lot of things. Way better than New Year's Eve with regard to characterizations (though this lacks character development to make it more enticing) and direction. The soundtrack is on of the best since it had a good variety with upbeat songs. Not a popular film but you can see a superb youthful cast brimming with potential (a spectacular actor/director and Oscar nominated female to name a few). Screenplay was likable with lines like "I mean, there are some people who wait their entire lives for somebody to tell them they feel that way about them, and you, you just throw it away like it's nothing, like it's a minor inconvenience!" and "Did you know that cigarettes are a shield against meaningful interaction with people?" Aside from the lack of humor, lackluster figure build-up and interesting leads, 200 Cigarettes is an okay film for its premise and killer songs.
