Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Nicolas Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

tdrish I can't say Less Than Zero is a good movie. I can't say that it's even got good performances. However. If you have EVER been curious, or currently are curious about using cocaine, I encourage you strongly to watch this movie. There is 90 percent chance or higher that you will not want to use it after watching this. I was 13 years old when I watched this, and wow, did it scare the crap out of me. The ending was a bit sad, but this is true to real life events then could happen, so the script demands that it be taken seriously, no matter how bad this film has aged. Again, if you've ever been curious about using cocaine, this movie will prevent you from using it. I can bet my 401k on it. Enjoy,

mspieway I only wish I could recapture the minutes I lost watching this. Horribly sub par acting + sad excuse for a script = one giant waste.Who made this? Did someone owe someone something? Downy with the eye makeup, McCarthy's simpleton smile, and even the female lead's voice were irritating. In fact, I rooted for the pusher, who seemed to be the only one with any sense. No idea why we even watched til the end. Hope springs eternal.

SnoopyStyle Clay Easton (Andrew McCarthy), Blair (Jami Gertz) and Julian Wells (Robert Downey Jr.) are best friends graduating from high school. Julian uses his daddy's money to start a record company. Blair abandons her plans for college with Clay and sleeps with Julian. Six months later, Julian returns home from college for Christmas. Blair convinces Clay to help Julian who is in trouble. Julian lost all of the money and had to borrow from drug dealing school acquaintance Rip (James Spader).This captures a certain superficial 80s L.A. decadence. Robert Downey Jr. delivers a big-time performance as a druggie mess. It is probably a bit of real life imitating art. James Spader has the perfect creepy sleaziness. McCarthy is still in the full bloom of his boyish charm. His problem is that he's a bit inferior for the part. He's not quite the leading man this role calls for. Jami Gertz does functional girlfriend acting. Downey is the key and he's great.

Romeo Garcia I remember when i see this movie in video (it never came out in theaters here in Mexico)and the experience was very surreal,I have to recognize that i know of the movie because the music video of THE BANGLES-"Hazy shade of winter" (Remember it was the MTV era)and i was very surprise.I know all the actors of the movie:Mccarthy for Pretty in pink and mennequin,Getz for The lost boys and Solarbabies,Downey jr for Weird Science and Johnny be good and Spader for Pretty in pink and for Wall street so i know the quality of all of them.The movie is really really great based in real situations and great characters (Downey jr and Spader steal the movie) and the soundtrack are great music of:POISON,ROY ORBISON,AEROSMITH,LL COOL J,SLAYER,RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS and of course THE BANGLES make a great contribution to the movie...So why see it???...Simple they don't make movies like this and all the main actors are now great actors (with the excepcion of Jami Getz of course).
