the magical two lost hours

I'm putting this film on the top of my netflix queue.
200 Cigarettes, the 1999 risa garcia classic. a late nineties ensemble comedy (?) featuring christina ricci, casey affleck, janeane garofalo and and and and and (!) PAUL RUDD.
ernest hardy from film.com calls 200 Cigarettes, 'a movie at odds with itself'. david keyes from cinamaphile writes that 'this is the movie that knows its a party flick, but doesn't care'. and with the most succinct review, david elliott from the san diego union-tribune calls this movie 'barely functional'. but wait. i never see a movie until i know duane dudek from milwaukee journal sentinel has reviewed it.

he found it to be 'as funny as a dark spot on your chest X- ray!' punctuation all his.
foreshadowing?
courtney love?
no matter. i'm still seeing it.
