Loser

Reviewed by Vivian Rose, age 15, from the US

While "Loser" has a few mildly entertaining moments, this movie is basically a loser. As you might have surmised, "Loser" is about a loser - a college kid who is anything but popular with his roommates and classmates. The problem is that he is just no fun to be with - he acts like a stodgy, over-the-hill forty-year-old. Then he meets a girl - who, unfortunately, is already sleeping with her professor. But it's ridiculously obvious that she and the loser will end up together in the end anyway. The only scene I enjoyed was when girlfriend launched into a monologue about all the people she hated. But later she turned into a nice, sweet, stereotypical movie character again. Unless you have no taste in movies, or have a thing for dumb, pointless college movies, "The Loser" isn't worth your time.

Rating: PG-13 for strong language, drug-related humor, and sexual content
