Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

ladytrol I absolutely adore the atmosphere of the movie, the plot, cast, everything is fun! this movie makes me feel happy and really lifts the mood for living. it is not the one to be in the category of the ''must see'' all time classic masterpieces, and that's why I can't give it 10 stars, because this is my personal girlish opinion, but for the category of small, everyday movies, I certainly credit this movie as for ever favorite.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a number of individuals out on the streets of New York on New Years Eve, looking for love and fun."200 Cigarettes" is a collection of snapshots of the night. There are many people in the story, and all of them looking for love of varying length. I think the Kate Hudson's subplot stands out because she is so innocent, and yet her date is such a philanderer. Christina Ricci and her friend looking for a party is quite hilarious, while Paul Rudd's subplot really stirs up emotions as he and his female friend struggles for power."200 Cigarettes" may be a party film in disguise, but it is more a film to feel rather than a film to entertain. Viewers will find a character in the film to identify with, and feel the emotions.

Film Watchin Fool What you can expect is a dialogue driven comedy that has really good cast, but it doesn't necessarily make for a great movie. It is very much a predecessor of films like Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve where there are multiple stories going on at once that all eventually intersect and mesh.Acting/Casting: 6* - The cast is full of some big names (Ben Affleck, Paul Rudd, Courtney Love, Cristina Ricci, Casey Affleck, Dave Chappelle, Jay Mohr)and they all play their roles well. No one does a stand out job, but I will admit Paul Rudd is great at being downright aggravating.Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 5.5* - For a dialogue driven comedy it is fairly entertaining, but I don't think it is extremely funny by any means. The film comes together well, but in my opinion never really has a tremendous climax.Plot/Characters: 5* - This is nothing more than a movie that follows multiple characters through their New Year's Eve and the adventures or miseries that the night takes them on. Again, it is marginally entertaining, but nothing special unless this is your thing.Entertainment Value: 5* - Unless you love one of the cast or are really into how people cope with their personal issues, then you will likely get bored with this movie at some point. It was tough for me to get through the first time, so I doubt I will be watching again in the future.My Score: 6+5.5+5+5 = 21.5/4 = 5.375 Email your thoughts to filmwatchinfool@gmail.com

Mr_Censored It's New Year's Eve 1981. There's a party, and seemingly everyone is invited. Story lines inter-mingle with one another as fate twists and turns for a colorful assortment of characters on their way to the party. Humiliation, depression, sexual inadequacy, selfishness and love – all fodder for "200 Cigarettes." There's a lot going on in "200 Cigarettes" with countless story lines to accommodate its extensive cast. Everyone from Ben Affleck to Janeane Garofalo and Dave Chappelle to Christina Ricci shows up for this party and many memorable characters are molded. A still-on-the-cusp-of-fame Dave Chappelle sticks out the most as the smooth talking, marijuana-smoking cabbie who seems to know all the right things to say. Paul Rudd mopes around in a typically self-loathing character, but is actually likable in one of his most over-looked roles. Martha Plimpton – as the hostess of said party – plays a nut-job with sincerity, while Ben Affleck…well, Ben Affleck isn't given much to do, and you're bound to have a few laughs at his character's expense. Director Risa Bramon Garcia's only film to date captures the party atmosphere and its era perfectly, as the film is fun and truly feels like stepping into a timewarp. This is pure fluff, but there's nothing wrong with that. Anyone willing to get lost in some 80's nostalgia and who can appreciate a young and talented cast will enjoy a drag off of "200 Cigarettes." Heck, any film that can make Courtney Love seem likable can't be all that bad, can it?
