Loser

Here, though, she appears to be the one who's clueless, as almost all of her jokes fall flat, including a series of extremely unfunny cameos by the likes of Steven Wright, Andy Dick and Andrea Martin.

And though the film tries to win cutesy and hipness points for sentimentality and a pop-music soundtrack, nothing really pans out, and Biggs and Suvari desperately try to invent some chemistry where none exists.

On the supporting side, Kinnear is surprisingly one-note, while Orth and newcomers Sadoski and Simpson are too irritating for words.

"Loser" is rated PG-13 for scattered profanity (including the so-called "R-rated" curse word), surprisingly crude humor and sexual discussions, glimpses of nude artwork and some skimpy dancers' costumes, a brief fistfight and drug use (marijuana and Rohypnol).

Running time: 98 minutes.
