One thing I do not get about this movie is it's title, for what have 200 Cigarettes got to do with New Years eve, OK there is smoking but still. The title is not good. The same can be said maybe of the film's Trailer. It is not in a way intriguing or funny and it implies that this is merely an average story film. It also contains, by the way, scenes not featured in the movie and I really wonder why that is. The Trailer really did not make me look forward to seeing this, yet I watched it anyway, for I thought there was a good cast (Ben + Casey Affleck, Courtney Love and Christina Ricci).
The film itself is much different than the Trailer. The film is pretty funny and it shows in a good way all the stuff that happens when you are going to a party. What can go wrong, which difficulties can arise and so on. It is all about sex, relationships and the need of some people to leave WITH someone when leaving a party. It really gives the viewer a good image of the way parties are and the people who go to them. It is very realistic and not only applicable to the year 1981. The same could have happened on New Years eve 1999 or could happen this year on New Years Eve 2000. Pretty entertaining.
post scriptum: Paul Rudd rocks, he, Casey Affleck and Courtney Love are the best ones in this one.
