  200 Cigarettes Reviews
Actually smoking 200 cigarettes in the same 95 minutes couldn't be any worse for you than it is to watch the movie.
Yet, despite all of the charisma and ability on screen, 200 Cigarettes is a tepid affair, distinguished by bland character development, uninspired and insipid dialogue, and a nonexistent plot.

 200 Cigarettes (1999)

 The Michigan Daily Online
This, boys and girls, is just a sampling of the illustrious cast of "200 Cigarettes," an ensemble film about one wild and crazy night (heard this one before?) that just happens to be New Year's Eve 1981 in New York's already wild and crazy East Village.
They are none of those things, however, in "200 Cigarettes," a poor attempt at filmmaking that is nothing more than a good cast gone wrong.
The main idea behind "200 Cigarettes" is that everyone is whiling away the evening waiting for the hour to be fashionably late enough that it's cool to show up at Monica's (Martha Plimpton) party, the bulk of the guest list being made up of her ex-boyfriends.

 MMI Movie Review: 200 Cigarettes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
If "200 Cigarettes" looks like one of those concept-driven flicks designed to sell soundtrack CD's, it's only because it IS. It's filled with hot young studs and starlets, none of them sizzling enough to sell a picture individually, but collectively impressive on Music Television trailers.
In "200 Cigarettes," Martha Plimpton is a failed hostess named Monica, fluttering around her empty apartment as the long night drags on.
Janeane Garafalo is around just long enough for us to imagine that "200 Cigarettes" might be as classy as she is. Elvis Costello, seen mainly in party stills, has a very small cameo.

 200 Cigarettes
It might be hard to imagine two more different movies than The Other Sister, a feel-good foray into wealthy, dysfunctional Southern California family dynamics, and 200 Cigarettes, an indie flick portentously set in NYC on New Year's Eve 1981 and populated by an ultra-trendy cast.
In Risa Bramon Garcia's 200 Cigarettes, exploration of character and social context is not an issue.
The predictable flirtatious encounters appear as a series of Polaroid-looking stills, under some mildly funny commentary by Dave Chappelle to suggest all the fun that should be going on, given how long the characters and we have been waiting for the big payoff.

 200 Cigarettes - Movie Commentary by Tony DiPasquale (proudestmonkeys.com)
200 Cigarettes is a collection of some of the best known talent to spring from the "indie" scene, yet it fails to register as more than a blip on the comedic radar.
We follow about a dozen young adults around New York City, as each person is looking for a certain hard-to-find party and the man or woman of his or her dreams.
200 Cigarettes is not what I would consider a bad movie, but it rather far from good.

 CityBeat: Love '80s Style (1999-02-25)
But take away its slick costumes and New Wave soundtrack and 200 Cigarettes is the most threadbare of all of Hollywood's recent '80s throwbacks.
But it's Rock-diva Courtney Love who grabs more than her fair share of the 200 Cigarettes spotlight as the man-hunting Lucy, who tries to boost the spirits of her friend Kevin (Paul Rudd sporting funky sideburns) after he's been dumped by his performance-artist girlfriend (Janeane Garofalo).
Still, the biggest surprise out of 200 Cigarettes' many bad surprises is the fact that Love comes off looking like Michelle Pfeiffer compared to Ricci's white-trash stereotype of Val, a Long Island diva with a fake ID. Ricci -- and this is something I'd thought I'd never say about a Ricci performance -- is annoying.

 SPLICEDwire: "200 Cigarettes" review
At first I was highly dubious about "200 Cigarettes." From what I'd seen before hand, it looked like mediocre script at which the producers threw a lot of hip actors hoping the cast would hoist it up to their level.
But "200 Cigarettes" is not entirely predictable along the way and, unlike "The Wedding Singer," it doesn't depend on '80s shtick for its laughs.
And with this cast of edge-of-super-stardom players, "200 Cigs" will definitely be remembered in 2009, like "American Graffiti," "Diner" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" are remembered now for launching or accelerating humongous careers.

 "200 Cigarettes"
200 Cigarettes is about partygoers in the East Village on New Year's Eve, 1981, and as we bop back and forth among the many converging story lines, a troubling thought arises: None of these episodes merits our time.
Everybody vamps and preens as if it were amateur night in SoHo, and a few of the performers, such as Kate Hudson, appear ill-used -- in several scenes, she is required to walk around in a jacket smeared with dog poop.
This sort of stunt might work in a John Waters movie, but 200 Cigarettes, for all its punk trappings, is squeaky-clean.

Industry cynics and detractors of the recent groundbreaking agreement between Columbia and top WGA screenwriters need only consider Risa Bramon Garcia's feature film debut 200 Cigarettes to be persuaded of the necessity of a good script.
Crushingly, the cast is wasted in a tawdry collection of would-be comic pratfalls, paired off in meandering threads to preen and screech and volley lousy dialogue back and forth.
The rambling multiple storylines weave and ultimately intersect during the seemingly-interminable running time, but I'd hesitate to describe the overly-cluttered 200 Cigarettes as Altmanesque: here's a film where the destination is not only inevitable, but it's no fun getting there, either.

 '200 Cigarettes' (R)
he social anxiety of New Year's Eve, that irrational worry about being at the right party and mating with the right person in time for midnight, is supposed to inform "200 Cigarettes," a twentysomething comedy with a brain-dead script, unflattering lighting and 16 performers in search of a scriptwriter.
Directed by Risa Bramon Garcia (who began her career as a casting director), and written by Shana Larsen, whose first effort this is, "200 Cigarettes" feels like one-sixth of an idea stretched to the breaking point.
I couldn't tell if the movie was meant to be an entertaining, offbeat comedy or straight-out sabotage – the dramatic equivalent of a smoldering butt mashed into my dinner.

Perhaps the saddest thing about 200 Cigarettes is not that it’s bad, but that the whole exercise feels pointless.
The film follows a group of arty New Yorkers – mostly poseurs and wannabes – as they make their way to an East Village party thrown by Monica (Martha Plimpton), who’s panic-stricken by the possibility that no one will show up.
Simply view 200 Cigarettes like New Year’s Eve itself – a holiday when force-fed fun in large groups is considered mandatory – and opt to stay home instead.

I think that the movie is called 200 Cigarettes is because Courtney Love's character gives Paul Rudd's character a carton of cigarettes for his birthday.
