2/5
An ambitious but misfired comedy about an agoraphobic junkie. Go to Full Review
Tim Grierson L.A. Weekly 07/29/2009
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. Go to Full Review

03/27/2013 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! See more 03/17/2012 A Great Great Great MOVIE! See more 11/19/2011 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... See more 07/14/2011 More messy than quirky low budget comedy, original but borderline boring, which is too bad because there were some great ideas there. See more 06/15/2011 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. See more 06/07/2011 great film but def not 4 everyone See more Read all reviews
