Loser
Amy Heckerling (CLUELESS, FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH) directs this romantic comedy starring Jason Biggs as Paul Tannek, a nerdy college freshman with a heart of gold, and Mena Suvari as Dora Diamond, the girl of his dreams. Small-town boy Paul goes to the big city to attend college with high hopes of fitting in and making friends. But from the start, he's fighting an uphill battle. His dorky hat and earnest mannerisms drive his cosmopolitan, ultra-hip roommates crazy, and he finds himself labeled a loser, kicked out of their dorm suite, and living in a room in a veterinary hospital. Meanwhile, Paul falls for Dora, a quirky free spirit who is having a clandestine affair with their professor, Edward Alcott (Greg Kinnear). Despite his feelings for her, Paul does his best to protect Dora from the fact that Alcott doesn't care about her nearly as much as she thinks he does. LOSER also includes brief cameo appearances by Dan Akroyd, David Spade, Andy Dick, Steven Wright, Andrea Martin, Colleen Camp, and Taylor Negron.

"...Ms. Heckerling [balances the film's] dark satirical tone with a lively lightheartedness....A brave and sincere effort..."

Really, don't bother.
I was hoping for something lighthearted, but this film is so lame I was utterly unable to enjoy it. It lurches erratically...

Kristen Stewart vs Bella Swan
Take a look at the movies opening in cinemas this week. It’s not a very inspiring collection: Charlene Tilton in American Cheerleader Secrets. How to Stop Being a Loser. A Nic Cage thriller called Justice. The unremittingly grim Aussie true-crime drama Snowtown (a pretty good film, but definitely not for everyone). Oh, and a little flick sporting the elongated title, Twilight Saga: The Breaking Dawn – Part 1. And that would be the reason there’s not much competition for you...
