    Teenagers without a cause

    by RandytheMovieFan

    Fairly depressing view of the transition from high school to the next phase of life. Lots of interesting moments along with a few laughs, but the movie doesn't come close to claims of being hysterical. The various relationships feel very real, even when they are extremely quirky, It's not like I wanted my 2 hours back at the end of the movie, but it did leave me feeling as blank as some of the characters.

    Incredible cast. A real story about real people and real consequences. very underrated. Must see for people who like dark comedies.

    A Hilarouis Masterpiece

    by wingwang654

    When I saw this film on my cousin's computer wallpaper, I almost was obsessed over the look of it. Anyone would have been attracted to it. So I asked what film this is and he said a Indie film (Independent Film). He said I would't like it because it was an Indie film, but hew was terribly wrong, I loved it. The characters are so matched up together well, and the sarcastic jokes Mr. Zwigoff puts in are hilarouis. You wouldn' want to miss this film. Plus it has a great point or lesson to teach. Ghost World is a definetly should be on you movie list.

    A buoyant, funny, and disarmingly humane comedy of beautiful losers in revolt.
