Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times An ambitious but misfired comedy about an agoraphobic junkie. Rated: 2/5 Jul 29, 2009 Full Review Tim Grierson L.A. Weekly Rather than funny ha-ha, this is all meant to be funny sad, but American Cowslip's clunky pacing, chintzy aesthetics and aggressively juvenile tone vaporize any possible sympathy for the characters.

Audience Member One of my favorite movies, if not my favorite! I want to watch it over and over again. Its the happiest drug movie i've ever seen. I love the bottom line of the movie: do what makes you happy no matter what all those other dumb fuckers think! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A Great Great Great MOVIE! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked the movie a great deal..I am wanting to see it again...It is not a Fast Food production, as in a throw together movie,,,this movie is good and the characters are intertwined in their lives even though they may not know it...It is a good dry comedy too. I agree this movie may not be appreciated by everyone, but, I liked it much... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member More messy than quirky low budget comedy, original but borderline boring, which is too bad because there were some great ideas there. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, that was terrible. I saw no redeeming qualities to this scatter-brained snooze fest that seems to forget about the plot it started with. Encourage someone you hate to watch this and it'll be sweet revenge. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member great film but def not 4 everyone Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
