	The Wild Angels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They interrupt the service and, at Blues’ urging, have a "party." The Angels remove the Loser from his Nazi flag-draped casket, sit him up and place a joint in his mouth, knock out the minister, place him in the casket, and among other things, drug and rape the Loser’s grieving widow, Gaysh.
		Later, the Angels proceed to the Sequoia Grove cemetery to bury the Loser.
		Film critic Leonard Maltin called The Wild Angels “OK after about 24 beers.” It opened the Venice Film Festival in 1966, to tepid response.

		Loser is a well meaning film from the director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High and the writer/director of Clueless.
		The film tries way too hard to make the lead victim (I mean actor) into a hopeless, over trusting, pathetic geek, that you go from feeling pity to wanting him to get the girl and the film to be over so you can get away from this pathetic creep within the film's first 20 minutes.
		Now I didn't actually ruin the film because within five minutes you'll know where the film is heading and there's little doubt there would be a film at all if it didn't end the way it does.

	Film & TV: American Cutie (Newcity Chicago . 07-24-00)
		"Loser" is two movies in one--a beautifully intentioned innocent romance of city and sensibility, and a pile-driver subtle succession of indignities visited on Paul (Jason Biggs) and Dora (Mena Suvari) a couple of young, meant-to-be-sweethearts who are dealt dirt by everyone they meet at college in New York City.
		"Loser" is sometimes comical--there is a video store clerk cameo that is one of the funniest, smartest things I've seen in an age--yet the real world complications grate as they are piled upon this pretty pair.
		Here is the moral to take away from "Loser": People are shit and relationships are shit and life is shit until you meet someone who is essential, quintessential and beyond rational possibility, and that there is no one and nothing that can keep you apart.

	Loser
		Her inner teen must have deserted her this time around, though; Loser is a limp, uninspired downer, as mirthless and moralizing as they come.
		Though it would be convenient to refer to Loser as the third in Heckerling's high school trilogy, it unfortunately wouldn't be accurate, as here she advances her characters' ages by a few months, making them freshmen in college.
		Loser has a rushed, half-completed feel and looks like it was done on the cheap (at one point, Paul attends an Everclear concert that appears to take place inside a VFW hall).

	Movie-List - Reviews - Loser
		Loser is like a lot of other teen romantic comedies that have arrived in the last couple months.
		Loser has a smart cast and like a lot of Heckerling films, a great soundtrack but I fear the subject matter here just isn't funny.
		These films developed their "losers" as victims of their environment and we really wanted to see them survive.

	Xiibaro Reviews: Loser, What Lies Beneath, Jules and Jim, and Jesus' Son
		Loser was supposed to be a Clueless or Fast Times at Ridgemont High in college, but it fails to ever come near its predecessors.
		There is a charm to the film, that is one thing that I must give it, and it does have some fine moments, but most of the film is an all out bore.
		This, the third Hitchcockian film in recent years, is not the best, but it sure is the closest to the master.

	Criticism: The Cinematic Art of Nympholepsy: Movie Star Culture as Loser Culture in Nabokov's Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov ...
		According to Lyne, the film risked being construed under the 1996 Child Pornography Prevention Act as child pornography even though an adult body double of the fourteen-year-old actress playing Lolita was used for the nude scenes (which ended up on the cutting room floor, in any case).
		Lyne's travails getting his film to its intended audience might be regarded as merely another instance of the censorial interference that began with the novel's publication and accompanied its first film adaptation by Stanley Kubrick in 1962.
		The loser produces precisely by constantly imagining a medium (usually film) to which he doesn't have access that would (supposedly) be truly adequate to the narrative he wishes to tell.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- LOSER
		The term "loser" is supposed to the film’s two central characters, who can’t seem to do anything right, when compared to their so-called "cool" peers.
		LOSER has been given a crisp, highly defined transfer that frames the movie at 1.85:1, with the presentation being enhanced for playback on 16:9 displays.
		LOSER may not be a winner, but it does have a few funny and tender moments that make it a good date flick.

	DVDActive - Reviews - DVD - Loser (US - R1)
		I suppose the meaning of this film was supposed to be about how some people are considered Losers even though they are actually very nice.
		Before reviewing the film I thought it was a romantic comedy but apart from the opening 5 minutes there are very few funny moments.
		The actors cannot be blamed for making this film a failure as they do their best with a lame script.

	village voice > film > New Waterford Girl; Loser; Jennifer Reeder: Videos and Selections by Amy Taubin
		Heckerling went to NYU about 30 years ago, and throughout the film you can sense her looking askance at the current generation of students.
		But in Loser, New York (which looks as clean and bright as the Beverly Center) is overrun with users and abusers, all with grandiose senses of entitlement.
		Loser's spot-on depiction of its villains would have made for a depressing movie if it weren't so funny to see them get their comeuppance.

	Music review: In Glass `opera for ensemble and film,' his score is the loser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		That new arena would challenge the viewer to process and synthesize a multitude of stimuli: film, dubbed translation (at the top of the screen), the live performance and any interpreting gestures and actions by the performers.
		So I became engrossed with Cocteau's Gothic film -- all fl and white, shadows, truncated dialogue and, not least, mesmerizingly grotesque (the face of the beast was at once ugly and hypnotically pathetic).
		The melodies for the four singers portraying the film characters were often elegant and expressive -- a humanistic enrichment of the mechanistic underlay of accompaniment.

	BBC - Films - review - Loser
		Much like this film, in a way, which is so slight that a sudden gust of wind might pick it up and carry it where no other critic could do it harm.
		"Loser" seems unfortunately influenced by its prescient title, and manages to make the marginal humour of "Road Trip" seem like a masterpiece by comparison.

	SCREEN IT! ARTISTIC REVIEW: LOSER
		Conversely, there are even more films where actors and actresses have managed to deliver good and even great performances while surrounded by nothing but production flotsam, mediocrity and occasionally complete and utter filmmaking idiocy and ineptitude.
		The film's biggest problem, however, is in its choice and portrayal of its supporting characters and the directly related material that's been intended to generate laughs.
		Predictable and forgettable, the film is somewhat charming and pleasant enough, only due to the presence of the two central characters, to avoid being a romantic comedy debacle.

	July 27, 2000: Screen, Sore Loser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		From her classic Fast Times At Ridgemont High to Clueless, her films are informed by a real understanding of teenage desires, fears and hopes.
		Time and again the film pauses, as if to say, "See, this is funny, this is meaningful--laugh, cry." Neither is really forthcoming.
		Ultimately Loser suggests that Heckerling has lost her touch for convincingly portraying the lives of young people.

	Review: Loser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		With Loser, Heckerling has graduated from high school (where two of her previous outings, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless, were set), but the qualities that make her characters appealing have not been lost in the process.
		Loser is guaranteed to appeal to anyone who has liked the umpteen recent late teens/early twenties romantic comedies, but the film also has qualities that could attract a wider audience.
		Loser bucks the summer trend, proving that a little light romance is an appealing antidote to an overdose of testosterone and adrenaline.

	Loser [2000] DVD at Shop Ireland
		When Paul Tannek gets a scholarship at a college in New York he is soon branded a complete loser on acount of him wearing one of the most stupidest hats in the world, having the nerdiest hair cut ever, and going round with about fifty textbooks under his arm.
		Overall 'Loser' is a really fun and entertaining film which although slightly follows in the footsteps of most other teen movies, still manages to be great all round and should satisfy most film fans.
		Part of the problem is that the film can't decide about what the main character most wants -- does he want to get the girl (like in the video), or does he want to be popular with the boys, or does he just want to get the grades and keep his scholarship.

	DVD Review: Loser
		The two are supposed to go to a concert together(more on that in a moment), but he ends up saving her when she's drugged.(wait, wasn't this a comedy?).
		But anyways, there could have been re-working to "Loser" to make it better; they could also have reworked the entire film from the base to make it possibly great.
		SOUND: "Loser" is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and suffers a bit from the usual "comedy" presentation.

	Loser (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Plot Outline: A college student, branded a loser by his roommates and booted from the dorm, falls in love with a coed who has eyes for their professor.
		Perhaps nobility is passe in films today, but 'Loser' makes a great case for working class heroes who succeed by 'doing the right thing'.
		'Loser' features a lot of very funny cameos, by Andy Dick, David Spade, Andrea Martin, Colleen Camp, many others, and, to Heckerling's credit, these 'guests' never detract from the positive message of the film.

		Loser is the new romantic comedy by director Amy Heckerling.

	'Loser': Welcome to the Big City: Sometimes It's a Bit Cruel
		She is responsible not only for "Clueless" (1996), a Jane Austen adaptation superior in wit and insight to anything the Merchant-Ivory gang could ever hope to perpetrate, but also, along with Cameron Crowe, for "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," one of the touchstones of modern youth culture, still notable for its intelligence and realism.
		Heckerling's new movie, "Loser," which she wrote and directed, falls short of the high standards set by her earlier work, it is at least smarter and more probing than, say, "Boys and Girls," the summer's other college love story.
		Their blithe sadism, which the academic system colludes with, connects "Loser" to the great John Hughes comedies of the mid-1980's, which concealed live wires of class antagonism within the insulating fluff of senior-prom anxiety.

	Metroactive Movies \| Humphrey Bogart
		In 1993, Entertainment Weekly selected this "loser" as "the greatest movie legend of all time." Humphrey Bogart survives as a star because he uniquely encompasses that opposition between winner and loser in a way that movie producers can't comprehend but that audiences know in their gut.
		In his lesser films, Bogart succumbs to a groping, occasionally boozy, sentimentality, a gratuitous rigidness, a fake contest between duty and desire.
		The film has a tragic ending, but it is the baroque, eccentric tragedy of opera that asserts that love is the only law.

	Loser - Review - loser? more like winner!
		I recently saw the new movie 'Loser' on video (for some reason it never came out in the cinema) and though it was really good.
		They all show their acting ability in this film and play the same type of characters that they are known for playing (the typical american teenager).
		Basically the film is yet another Romantic Comedy from the States that is based at university.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Loser \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Then again, neither is "Loser," a film so painfully bad, it practically begs for such treatment for everyone involved in its making.
		And though the film tries to win cutesy and hipness points for sentimentality and a pop-music soundtrack, nothing really pans out, and Biggs and Suvari desperately try to invent some chemistry where none exists.
		"Loser" is rated PG-13 for scattered profanity (including the so-called "R-rated" curse word), surprisingly crude humor and sexual discussions, glimpses of nude artwork and some skimpy dancers' costumes, a brief fistfight and drug use (marijuana and Rohypnol).

	"Napoleon Dynamite" - Movie Review by Motion Pictures (Brian Johnson)
		The film is so deprived of anything that makes up a story be it plot, characters, or theme that it is a wonder it exists at all in the material world and isn’t just some metaphysical speculation somewhere.
		My opinions of the film recently brought defensive arguments from people, claiming that Napoleon is a classic case of Asperger's Syndrome, a disorder that is the behavioral and social twin to autism.
		But the film quality is good, and speaks of not settling for some cheap damaged stock from the back shelves of a Kodak warehouse.

	John's Useless Opinion on: Loser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Loser is not a movie that you will walk away from having gained new insights on the teenage experience.
		Loser is supposedly aimed at people in my age range, and as such, one would expect that the film would have a solid grasp on what teenage life is actually like.
		In the end, though, the mediocrity of Loser stems from the fact that “cute” is all the film really aspires to be.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Loser Movie Review
		Amy Heckerling's Loser is a bubble-gum flavored exercise in formulaic predictability (much like that other teen romantic comedy from earlier this year, Boys and Girls).
		In the film, a down-on-his-luck guy (the loser of the title) meets a pretty girl who also has a few problems.
		In Loser, we want to be able to root for his character, but his role is so loosely written -- and the plot complications so predictable and lame -- that we're never really able to.
