200 Cigarettes Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 14 Reviews)

kind of aimless
I found this movie somewhat entertaining, although the intertwining stories were a mixed bag of annoying and fun. Unfortunately the fact that the stories each receive only limited attention, and the story changes from one focus to another storyline entirely just as things start to seem interesting, makes this film a bit frayed and taxing to the patience. Nevertheless, the film is about a whole host of young people, dressed up and heading for a party (ostensibly Martha Plimpton's party), but they never quite make it there. Plimpton, someone I never really cared for, is actually rather funny in this role, and in fact hilarious when she misses her own party (and her idol, Elvis Costello). Christina Ricci and Gaby Hoffman are both quite funny; Courtney Love, Paul Rudd and Janeane Garofalo are also quite a trio. Overall this is light comedy; nothing special but still worth the effort.

One carton,ten packs,twenty cigarettes per pack
Man,this film is a smoker! It probably has nothing to do with cigarettes,though. But like cigarettes,this film is not for sale to minors. Great cast consisting of Ben Affleck,Kate Hudson and Gaby Hoffmann.

Fun!
First of all, I don't know why critics were saying such horrible things about "200 Cigarettes". Okay, it may not be Oscar-worthy, but the cast is funny (especially Courtney Love as Lucy) and lovable.

The film follows a bunch of young, 20-something people in East Village on New Years Eve 1981. The costumes are very eighties, the music is great and my favorite actress Kate Hudson was adorable in one of her first movie roles. The all-star cast; including Paul Rudd, Gaby Hoffman, Christina Ricci, Casey Affleck, Ben Affleck and Janeane Garofalo gives more stars than sneers. I also liked Martha Plimpton as cynical, grumpy Monica. The cameo by Elvis Costello was fine as well.
