I chose to choose it

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2003)

If you are young, free, without career, washing machine, dental insurance, electric toothbrush, leisure wear, big f****** TV with tens of channels of s*** to choose from, if you like trance or techno music, British humor, junk food, beer, watching non Hollywood (alternative) movies, ergo you haven't entered the Matrix yet this movie is for you. It is about a guy called Mark "Rent-boy" Renton played by the flawless and brilliant Ewan McGregor (can't imagine better acting for this role) trying to choose life by fighting his heroin addiction and influence of friends. Nothing special plot wise but very well executed for the budget at Danny Boyle's (director) disposal.
For all of you who have already entered the Matrix, starter home, new office, with career, low cholesterol, electric tin-opener, mortgage, designer cloths, BMW, DVD, MD, GMS, GPS, PC, 9 to 5, even CEOs I would say: give it a try, you might like it. After all this is a very good comedy. I donft know why this film is labeled drama in IMDb. To me this one makes as mush a drama as say "What Dreams May Come" comedy.
