Product Description
When three college slackers prepare to cheat on their final exams they are blackmailed by a nerd who threatens to have them expelled unless they help him get the girl of his dreams.
Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: R
Release Date: 1-MAR-2005
Media Type: DVD

Dewon Sawa is the impish leader of a trio of higher-education shysters who are blackmailed by deranged nerd Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore) into playing cupid in this latest twist on the college prank comedy. It starts playfully enough and winds through some clever test-taking shell games and commando-style operations to cheat the system, but soon enough falls into a familiar formula of teen sex, outrageous pranks, and gross-out gags. If that's your bag, this film rings the bell with a mind-boggling scene involving Schwartzman, '60s sex bomb Mamie Van Doren, and a sponge bath. Sawa's crooked smile is loaded for charm, James King is adorable as the angelic beauty, and Schwartzman is perhaps too convincing as a stalker with a raging psychosis, but this has nothing on Animal House, the original college rebel film of sex, scams, and the celebration of bad taste. --Sean Axmaker

By no means a great flick with an awe inspiring plot line but, funny as hell! I love this movie. Fast shipping and high qaulity dvd with case.
Greatest Movie Ever? January 15, 2008

The answer my friends is yes... this is the greatest movie ever. And for all of you non-believers, i'm sure you lack any semblance of a sense of humor. Anyways... Cool Ethan is perhaps the finest character of our time, and Jason Schwartzman's portrayal of him should be applauded.

This movie is hilarious! gross silly humor, but my favorite of all Jason Schwartzman films- even better than Rushmore!
 It's just 'American Pie' done horribly wrong! December 22, 2006
Damian Gunn (I am everywhere)
`Slackers' is about as tasteless as `American Pie' but only has half the laughs, thus deeming it somewhat of a worthless time-waster. If you want to see a bunch of off color jokes made with no real fun factor then this is the film to watch. If you want a smart sex-comedy that will make you laugh while still delivering the goods then this is the film to avoid. Devon Sawa is your star here, the bad boy who learns a valuable lesson about scamming on the hot chick. That hot chick is Jaime (James) King, who plays Angela, the girl of nerdy stalker boy Ethan's (Jason Schwartzman) dreams. Ethan bribes Dave (Sawa) and his two friends Sam (Jason Segel) and Jeff (Michael C. Maronna of `The Adventures of Pete and Pete' fame) to play match maker between him and Angela, but Angela ends up falling for Dave and then the truth is spilled and hearts are broken, but we all know how it ends because we've all seen this done a million times before, except it's been done better, smarter and much funnier! I will say it was worth watching to see Laura Prepon from `That 70's Show' get her grove on...
 What's most tragic about this film . . . . November 11, 2006

. . . . . is that it's actually being discussed. I'm pretty down about the fact that I have so few ways in which to usefully spend my time that I am offering an opinion on this excrement. Exploitation of aging film stars is nothing new and if they are willing to be exploited then who am I to complain?; there's nothing objectionable about seeing a naked body on the screen, in my opinion; we all do stupid and regrettable things in our youth and they are, potentially, funny. However, certain crimes against the viewing public are inexcusable, namely the fact that WE HAVE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE, SO MANY TIMES. I, personally, feel insulted that we are being offered this crud but am also aware of a sense of doom that people are actually getting laughs from the tired, old, flogged cliches (you know, sock over turgid member, lustful older woman, kooky student, BOY WHO REALISES THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS etc., etc., etc). As a final tirade and the most astounding feature of all the reviews that have appeared before is that some so beguiled by their own "insights" that they are reviewing this film in a pseudo-academic manner. I was sure the word "ouvre" (if that's how it's spelt) would appear somewhere. Please, someone, tell me that nobody has yet written a PhD thesis on campus comedy, that most banal of film types. Please!!! Otherwise, truthfully, any pretension that we are an intelligent species may as well be buried once and for all.
Yes, this is a truly terrible film in every sense of the word. It is a "comedy" that is genuinely depressing but we're getting pretty used to being fed swill now, am I right? And some are becoming quite fond of the taste . . .
