Review: "200 Cigarettes"



What do you get when you combine the style of the 80's, a New Year's Eve party gone horribly right, and an all-star cast including Ben Affleck, his younger brother Casey, Dave Chappelle, Janeane Garofolo, Gaby Hoffman, Courtney Love, Jay Mohr, Martha Plimpton, Christina Ricci, Paul Rudd, and a Hitchcock-ian cameo by Elvis Costello?

You get a deliciously sarcastic comedy stew entitled "200 Cigarettes."

The script, written by Shana Larsen, is superb and believable, which sets itself apart from a lot of similar comedies that have come out in the past. Martha Plimpton's anxiety ridden party host gets a special nod; she's incredible in this movie.

Check it out! It gave me a smiley face.
