This flick starts out with a
high school graduation. Robert Downey Jr. is in this movie, and
he is talking about starting up a record label. Andrew McCarthy
has plenty of flashbacks. He gets a card that says "Lets
fuck Christmas together." Naturally, he goes to the party.
Robert Downey Jr. is high and almost falls out of a car as they
drive, to get some dinner. He also does drugs, a lot. McCarthy
relights a relationship with an old flame, as hundreds of bikers
drive past. The sex scenes are oddly directed, including one
specific scene where you really can't tell whats happening. The
rest of the movie is very slow despite such songs as "I
wanna rock and roll all night", and "Christmas in Hollis".
I give Less Then Zero 2 out of 4 stars.
GREG
Andrew McCarthy gets dumped
on repeatedly. The song "The Hazy Shades of Winter",
rocks the house. Wow, this movie has awesome music. Robert Downey
Jr. always seems to play a jerk. If something interesting doesn't
happen in the next 5 minutes, I'm going to smack Zack around
with a dead fish. Andrew McCarthy is kissing his old girlfriend.
Now he's having sex with her. What a plot twist. This movie is
pretty good. Mat is not funny. That little girl has a big bow.
This movie has "Christmas in Hollis" by Run DMC, The
second coolest song of all time. That means that this movie officially
rocks.
Mat doesn't like this movie,
what a jerk. RDJ fellated someone for crack-cocaine. I wish Mat
would stop talking, and yet he keeps going. this movie is kind
of sad.
Conclusion: I really liked this
movie. It tended to get slow at times, but was funny and cool.
I give it: 4.5 MRUs out of 5
ZACK
This has a pretty cool soundtrack.
Robert Downey Jr, plays someone with a drug problem. It's quite
a stretch for him. Robert Downey Jr. almost fell out of a car.
That would have been hilarious. Greg just said that Andrew McCarthy
always makes him hungry.....for man love. Money shots are not
effective when the male is wearing jeans. In this movie, there
is a drug dealer who is hassling Robert Downey Jr. He looks nothing
like Andrew McCarthy, yet I just had a loud arguement with Mat
that the drug dealer was not Andrew McCarthy.
Andrew McCarthy The Drug
Dealer
These two guys look nothing alike.
Mat is retarded. |
I think Greg finds the little
girl attractive. I hate to spoil part of the movie, but one of
the hilarious scene's features Andrew McCarthy finding Julian's
apartment wrecked, with a messaged spray painted on the wall.
It reads: "Julian gives good head, and is dead."
Conclusion: I really would have
prefered it if Mat had talked less.

Mat's Nuggets of Wisdom
(While watching an oddly-shot scene.)
Greg: "Oh, they're having sex."
Mat: "But the guy has his shirt on."
-------------
(Quite Randomly)
Mat: "What does an MRU look like?"
Zack: "What?"
Mat: "Well, does it look like a dodecahedron?. I mean, a
star is a star..." |
RICH
This movie has some weird music,
that's for sure. The Bangles are cool. Basically, everything
in Andrew McCarthy's life has gone to hell. That's why it's called
"Less Than Zero", and there's a Kiss song.
Greg: "This is surreal."
Rich: "Actually, it's not surreal at all."
Greg says the soundtrack rules.
I agree. Robert Downey Jr. plays a jerky drug addict. Greg has
suggested the idea of sex lanes on the highway, that there should
be sex interstate highways, so that "Hey baby, wanna go
on sexerstate 9" would be a good pick up line. Yep. Robert
Downey Jr. basically plays himself.
Mat told us how he watched a
documentary on Toy Story, and how Woody was originally more of
an asshole at the beginning, and Greg just said, "Yup"
and nodded, because the story sucked.
Conclusion: A solid 3 and a
half stars. No more, no less. |
