Tawdry, whiny, and trivial excuse for a comedy

Rating: 2/10 (21 September 2000)

Obnoxious and insipid John Cusack has an obnoxious and insipid waste of a life in a music store with obnoxious and insipid friends dating obnoxious and vacuous women. This could easily have been titled, "The Worst of Seinfeld." And, where is Jerry anyway? Nearly everyone else makes a cameo in Frears' latest exercise in self-importance. Somehow, he continues to have the PR staff needed to garner decent reviews so he keeps getting work despite complete wastes of time such as this film.
