Not too many people appear to have liked 200 Cigarettes. I did, but then my expectations were not very high. Set in Manhattan on New Year's Eve, 1981, 200 Cigarettes follows a few groups of twenty-somethings as they head to the same New Years Eve Party. The casting is great, the characters they play much less so. The characterizations are pretty shallow and the plot thin. But in the end, it works well enough and the conclusion on New Year's morning is cute. The real saving grace of the film is the soundtrack, but that's what you'd expect from MTV.
