Filled with unlikeable characters and boring dialogue. Mediocre at best.
The self-loathing was real in the '90s.
A handful of good moments but chickens out and doesn't go all the way.
Jeff, Bee-Bee and Pony were very well written. Erica and Buff were the shallowest.
Cinematography and editing was very '90s, generic and unremarkable. It needed more wider shots when they were talking, to reinforce the sense of alienation.

Another awesome entry from Linklater. Basically just a night in the lives of aimless suburbanites as they sit around, drinking in front of a convenience store, bitching about existentialism. The comedy is quite a bit darker than in things like Dazed and Confused though.
