Review

from the same director who brought us “crumb”…look for the r. crumb art work on one of the LPs in the movie. after the first five minutes of this movie i was prepared to be utterly bored by a poorly done, extended version of “daria” the mtv show. fortunately the characters actually grew throughout the film from sarcastic teenagers to whatever it is that comes after that – the point being that they changed and that alone made this movie different and worthwhile. steve buscemi made the movie even better than that by adding true emotion to the film. i wasn’t blown away by the film, but it did live up to the accolades i had heard it receive.
