Movie Reviews of Less Than Zero
Movie Review: Andy, Jami, and Rob give an outstanding performance!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my all time favorite movie! I read the novel by B. Ellis and I myself liked the film better. Some scenes in this really stand out. Andrew and Jami's acting performances make this film real. I am suprised Robert Downey Jr. didn't recieve an award for his outstanding performance. Along with the acting, the soundtrack and direction, the colorful and exciting atmosphere, make this film an 80s classic. Less than Zero DESERVES 5 stars!
Summary of Less Than Zero
Returning home from college for Christmas vacation, Clay (Andrew McCarthy) is eager to resume his long-time romantic relationship with Blair (Jami Gertz) and his old friendship with the irresponsible Julian (Robert Downey, Jr.). But he finds the two have started a relationship of their own and developed a fondness for clubs, wild parties and endless amounts of cocaine. Clay's determination and love for Blair enables him to win her back, but Julian is a different story. Increasingly hopeless, addicted and deeply in debt to his dealer (James Spader), he puts Clay and Blair through the ultimate test of friendship, loyalty and love.Dreary, pointless late-'80s novel by literary poseur Bret Easton Ellis focused on listless, shiftless, drug-sniffing, sex-swapping, dead-end California teens with too much money and time on their hands. Which just about sums up this movie, though it's not nearly as interesting as that. This is mostly due to the ridiculously cleaned-up script and lifeless direction, which whitewashes the baser depravity and replaces it with perversion-lite and fashion shows. It doesn't help that director Marek Kanievska is saddled with Brat Pack lesser (make that least) lights Andrew McCarthy and Jami Gertz. The only things that lift this film above the muck are the performances by James Spader as a particularly heinous drug dealer and Robert Downey Jr. as a rich-kid addict with no self-control. --Marshall Fine
