Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A collection of twenty somethings try to cope with relationships, loneliness, desire and their individual neuroses. 200 Cigarettes stars an all star cast of famous talented people such as Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Christina Ricci and Paul Rudd. I loved all the characters and i found them hilarious and the soundtrack was pretty awesome sure it's by no means the best movie that any of this actors starred but they all did a nice job and i can't really think anything bad about the movie and it was pretty hilarious how 3 girls wanted to screw the Barman played by Ben Affleck or Kate Hudson falling down the street upon dog poo and that's why i give 200 Cigarettes 2 Thumbs Up.

I've had this movie with my big box of tapes for the last 7 years. I think I remember buying it for a buck at a dollar store years back but never opened it or watched it. Finally, being bored and laid-off from work I decided to check out my old tapes. Its amazing what I found in my box of tapes, some awesome forgotten movies that are likely not even on DVD or blueray. This 200 Cigarettes is not one of them.I've seen a lot of movies in my life. Good ones and bad ones and 200 Cigarettes is one of the worst ones I ever saw. Its amazing that just a few years after this movie was made by MTV you get gems like "election" and "Napolean Dynamite" but MTV just pays the bills I guess, because we also get garbage like "200 Cigarettes" and "Freddy got fingered" too.This movie doesn't try to be cool, it just expects it. Its not cool. Its a waste of film simply because it basically swears too much for the sake of swearing in a movie, has stupid sex talk through out and has some of the worst acting I have ever seen by some actors that can apparently act. The best actor in the movie was the girl from Goonies (Martha Plimpton) that tells Bran in that movie "Bran uh, God put that rock there for a purpose and I don't think you should be moving it.". Goonies was a good movie. 200 Cigarettes was not. Simple? Rate this review helpful because now you want watch the Goonies again, don't you?

this is one of my all-time favorite movies; as evidenced by my review history, I am not a compulsive reviewer, but decided that if one more movie deserves my shout-out it is this low-profile and vastly underrated effort so I dredged up my registration information which I hadn't used in years; I remember stumbling upon the movie at my local home video rental store nine years ago; I immediately fell in love with this star-jammed vehicle that effortlessly manages to be stridently observant and yet retain a light and joyfully irrelevant touch; some of the reviewers complain that its crowded story-lines don't allow for fully-fledged characters but fail to see that it's one of the successful wink-wink aspects of the movie: most of the protagonists ARE fully-fledged, it's just that there just so much to their character! They are either shallow/vapid people or one-track minds desperate to score before the last hours of the old year ring out; both types can be sketched with a few confident strokes! for instance, just listening in on the bathroom conversation of Caitlin and Bridget you get all the insight into their character that you need to know perfectly well where they come from and what is their motivation; come on, given the lightweight subject matter I don't see how you can expect a 162-minute English patient-calibre backstory; you might ask then why waste time on a movie about shallow people or people obsessed with hosting the perfect party? because shallow plus zero self-awareness plus NYC art-scene types equals funny; being so caught up in party dip and New Year's decoration that it leads up to existential drama and queasiness is also hilarious in my book; and 200 cigarettes serves up just that sort of delightful cinematic entertainment; not to mention that it has one of my all-time favorite one-liners: "I DARE you to f*** me!"

it just a simple movie about guys going to a party and getting it all mixed up, messed up., nice when you see how love works even when we all hide behind the smoke of your cigarette. the quest for love, for fun, for a party is very well portrayed. different characters, different situations, kind of make you feel you are in the middle of the desperation on new years eve, i think 1981 1982 was a great time to place it.the speeches and quotes and the way they develop a love and funny story is very nice. i t has a lot of characters making you crazy going from here to there on new year's eve. the humor is stool, and smart, i t has a great soundtrack, and in the end, it all turns out very well.
