Slackers (2002) 6/10

Starring : Devon Sawa, Jason Schwartzman, Jaime King, Jason Segal, Michael Maronna
Director : Dewey Nicks
Running Time : 87 mins

Ethan Dulles (Schwartzman) discovers that three slackers have been cheating their way through the last four years of University, so he decides to blackmail them into getting him together with the woman of his dreams, Angela (King) or else he’ll report them to the University. The only problem is that one of the slackers, Dave (Sawa) finds himself falling for Angela in a big way!

This wasn’t a particularly enthralling movie, though it did have its moments. The characters weren’t particularly memorable – apart from Jason Schwartzman who puts in a very underplayed creepy performance. It’s no wonder that Devon Sawa hasn’t appeared in anything worthy of note since this, even though he’d been in some brilliant movies before.
