As
Beck so famously says in his song "I'm a loser baby so
why don't you kill me", well why didn't someone say that
to the makers of this movie at the script stage and kill the
project stone dead.
Loser
stars Jason Biggs as a hick college student who moves to New
York. But as you have probably guessed by the title already
he's a bit of a loser and ends up being a bit isolated and
staying in a vet's surgery. Yes, thats right, a vets surgery.
Into the mix of this movie drops Mena Suvari, who I'm sure
you can guess, is lusted after by. But she's having an affair
with their english teacher played by Greg Kinnear.
Directing
this movie is Amy Heckerling who previously directed Clueless
and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. But she also directed drek
like Look Who's Talking Too.

Now
it might have sounded like this movie could have been a lot
of fun mixing in a bit of Clueless with American Pie'isms
and a bit of Amercian Beauty quality as well. But not all
we get is a lumpy stodge.
Suvari
is annoyingly annoying throughout and has destroyed all the
credibility she had from American Beauty, which is a complete
shame.
Biggs
is boring and shows little here to redeem him and the haircut
he has, did he really agree to it for the movie?
And
most at fault is Heckerling who seems to have forgotten how
to direct since Clueless and smothers on layer upon layer
of cliche.
