I think he means that you shouldn't have said "whoa 9/10 are you nuts" when you gave the movie an 8/10 yourself.</font> The movie on a whole is only worth a 7/10 but for a teen movie I'll give it an 8/10. Just because it was actually really good for a teen movie and Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari had great chemistry. And I don't think that's what he means. I think he's saying that because I gave Pearl Harbor a 10/10. | | Static Link |

Well I never saw it thank God, but from what I've heard there's more romance than actual baseball. Maybe you're a sucker for TEEN ROMANCE MOVIES? By the way Jackson, don't get down on yourself, you aren't the only one who is going through this. Once you get out of your shitty school, hopefully things will get better for you, I'm sure they will. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: jackson13 at December 3, 2001, 10:45 pm | | Topic: Loser 9/10 Forum: JoBlo | | Well guys, I'm glad that my pathetic little life has garnered such response to my review. Mike and Dicaprio, I thank you for your comments on my review and understading where I'm coming from. My 1st thought when I wrote the review was "people are gonna think im nuts". Luckily that hasn't really happened yet. But to let you guys better understand where im coming from, let me give you a sypnosis of a day in my life. 6:45 wake up time. 7:30 out the door for school. 7:40 arrive at school 20 mintues early (in order to get a good parking spot). 7:55 1st hour starts, I sit in the back corner and talk to no one because, well, no one cares if I do or not. 9:10 2nd hour starts, see details of 1st hour. 10:20 3rd hour starts, same story. 11:00 4th hour starts, its a co-ed gym class, im the only one in class who isn't on a sports team, im ignored bitterly. 12:10, lunch, I sit in the corner, alone, and drink a bottle of water. 12:50, 5th hour starts, study hall, I go to the library and read newspapers for the e... | | Read Entire Entry |

| Posted by: psudoazn at December 3, 2001, 3:50 pm | | Topic: Loser 9/10 Forum: JoBlo | | Well, I feel where you are coming from. The thing is that -- by itself -- this movie isnt really good at all. Rather than being funny (which was its main intention) it just makes you feel depressed because of the incredibly under-developed plotline. They put a few nerd jokes and a few overnight sensations and expected us to be content with the result? I give this movie a 4/10 because:[*] it was a sorry comedy[*] the plot was under developed[*] considering it was supposed to be a comedy, it totally misses its mark. Id like to agree with you jackson, but I cant. I recommend that you see Ghost World and Panic...you might like them. [This message has been edited by psudoazn (edited 12-03-2001).] | | Static Link |

| Posted by: urbanlegend23 at December 3, 2001, 2:22 am | | Topic: Loser 9/10 Forum: JoBlo | | Good review, but unfortunately I disagree. The movie had barely any interesting or original material, the plot was the same as every other teen comedy to come out recently, and sure, some characters like Paul were extremely likeable but I found the movie to be too hokey and tired. Just rent American Pie again. LOSER - 5/10 | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Mike at December 3, 2001, 12:56 am | | Topic: Loser 9/10 Forum: JoBlo | | At first I was thinking "whoa, a 9/10, are you nuts." But then after reading your review I know why. Sometimes a person can see a movie that everyone hated and end up loving it. Because the movie hits close to home. And even though everyone hated it you just can't help but love it because you can relate to it. I could relate to LOSER a some because I was in love with my best friend who was in love with someone else. So I really felt for Paul when he got that pizza and a video and then she went off with the other guy. That was actually really sad. I know how that feels. So I could relate to it based on that level and unlike almost everyone else I too really enjoyed the flick. It was surprisingly really sweet and romantic. Not really a comedy at all and certainly nothing new but still a really good teen movie that was pretty charming. Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari were excellent and really cute together. I own the movie and I must say it was one of the better teen romance comedies to come out in awhile... | | Read Entire Entry |
