Enid and Rebecca are two teenage girls out of synch with the world around them. Their uncensored commentary spares no one as they try to find a place for themselves in a modern America of endless strip malls and fast-food chains. After graduating from high school, they face an unpleasant immediate future: crappy jobs and slim prospects for romance. While Rebecca gets a job at a local coffee franchise and starts saving for the apartment they always planned on, Enid becomes involved with an alienated malcontent named Seymour. As they edge toward the unfathomable mystery of adulthood in a world in decline, Enid and Rebecca struggle to maintain their identity and the bonds that kept them sane. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

Comedy? Just a hint. Rather, it’s a sad drama about a selfish teenager who goes from nothing to nothing and manages to ruin her boyfriend's relationship with her self-centeredness. Zwigoff's sensitive direction and the excellent actors make this film a must-see. But I don’t see it as five stars.

An unnecessarily overrated film that can't decide whether it wants to be a comedy or a drama, and ends up as a bitter story about the classic search for life paths. Unfortunately, almost everything that you see here you've already seen at least once before. An interesting loser, a bored and cynical duo of girls, a supporting role of a simple top student, and a class full of weird creatures with artistic inclinations. If there's something first-class about it, it's Steve Buscemi, whom was believable for me in everything, from his neurotic outbursts to his love for records. It's a pity that the ending is somewhat calculatedly inconclusive; the rest is pleasant but quickly forgettable.

A prequel to American Beauty. Sensitively made, often very self-aware, but this adolescent romp, for all its under-the-skin atmosphere, doesn't entertain nearly as much as its two years older and more mature sibling.
