Underrated Comedy Masterpiece


For people who love shows like The Office and movies like Best in Show would adore this flick. It's just so damn hilarious and it goes pretty dark with it's humor too. Rating here should be much higher.

Agreed! It's right up there with Office Space, Idiocracy, Napoleon Dynamite and others.

The validity of my answers is highly dependent on the intelligence of the question..or lack thereof.

I agree! I've loved this movie since I first saw it back in 2000. Hilarious!

Could not agree more. Woefully underrated.

Agreed! I'd really like to see it get revisited and an expanded appreciation of it as a dark comedy. I keep hoping that with Amy Adams's career doing so well that more people will search out this early gem. The whole damn cast really--Ellen Barkin, Allison Janney, Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Denise Richards, Mindy "Send in the FemBOTS!!!" Sterling, and Brittany Murphy RIP.

I remember a friend loaning me this on VHS back in 2000 and I was totally unprepared for how funny, sharp, and sly the humor was. Even the message was smarter than most other teen flicks I had seen. The smartness of having a Joan Jett cover of the Mary Tyler Moore theme play over the final sequence as Amber sticks with it and gets the success she deserves. Wow!
