Critics Reviews Average Grade:   D+
Source Brief Review Grade*
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie
"It is, thus far, the worst movie of 2002." more... F  
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"Slackers is a dirty movie. Not a sexy, erotic, steamy or even smutty movie, but a just plain dirty movie." more... F  
Chicago Tribune
Patrick Z. McGavin
"Not only is Slackers painfully bad, but it's also about as morally unpleasant as a teen sex comedy can be." more... D-
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
"...tired, tasteless, unfunny..." more... D+
E! Online "...a leading candidate for worst movie of the year." more... D  
Hollywood Reporter
David Hunter
"...disappointingly simplistic..." more... C-
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
"Slackers is a turnoff despite Schwartzman's considerable efforts to garner laughs and sustain attention." more... C-
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
"...slack and uninspired, and peopled mainly by characters so unsympathetic that you're left with a sour taste in your mouth." more... C-
Reelviews
James Berardinelli
"The film's title likely applies more to the intended audience than to the so-called characters occupying the screen." more... C-
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
"...what genius thought of calling this twaddle about three college cheaters Slackers? Right away, you think of Richard Linklater's smartly hilarious Slacker, which puts this fluffball at a distinct disadvantage." more... D  
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
"Slackers is supposed to be a gross-out comedy, but the tastelessness of its jokes is nothing compared to its sheer cluelessness." more... D+
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"...a discordant comedy that gives bad taste a bad name. " more... D+
USA Today
Mike Clark
"There are laughs here, but easily as many groans." more... C
