The Smokers (2000)

The Smokers: Directed by Kat Slater. With Dominique Swain, Busy Philipps, Keri Lynn Pratt, Nick Loeb. Three rebellious teenage girls decide to even the score in the battle of the sexes.

“u0026quot;The Smokersu0026quot; is a shabby flick about three high school senior females who smoke (hence the title) and, for reasons unknown, go off on a bitch bender about the control they believe males have over females particularly in regard to sex. So, armed with a hand gun they set out to level the playing field. The film is apparently supposed to be a slice-of-life coming-of-age drama but the production is so messy it could also be a dark comedy or satire but fits best in the catch-all genre of u0026quot;bad movieu0026quot;. The players look stupid and behave stupidly though the film does almost manage to achieve poignancy a few times. Given poor quality of everything from screenplay to direction to supporting cast acting to sound to costuming to makeup….etc., thereu0026#39;s little reason for anyone to waste their time on this flick.
