Awesome movie Teens Can Relate To
Gregg Araki did an awesome job with this movie it's so surreal in some ways but in other ways you can totally relate. It starts off in a club with Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) and her boyfriend Jordan (James Duvall). Amy is kinda sex crazed and Jordon won't have sex with her because he's afraid of catching AIDS even though they both claim to be virgins. They end up meeting the sexy Xavier (Jonathon Schach). He kills a store clerk and robs the store while saving Amy and Jordan's lives. Then after that they are basically running not to get caught. There is a lot of sex in the movie. A lot of really funny yet dirty jokes. It also has a lot of violence in it as well. There are a lot of great scenes in this movie. If you rent it or buy it make sure you get the unedited version because that shows everything. If you watch the edited version of this movie it doesn't make much sense. Anyone who has thoght about seeing this movie see it it's totally awesome.

This film stinks.
"The Doom Generation" is a piece of garbage. It tries to be so many things and fails on all levels. It's not art and it's not good entertainment.
It tries to be as violent and funny as "Pulp Fiction" and "Natural Born Killers" are and it fails! "The Doom Generation" tries to shock the audience with violence and even there it fails! I guess one could call it a boring and cheesy comedy. The only thing to laugh about it's how predictable and boring it is. Still, I give it 1 star for the scene where the "heroes" of "The Doom Generation" show a bit of compassion for a dog.
Otherwise, it's as boring as a rat's ass!

Over-The-Top is the absolute understatement
I rented this movie basically because of the fact that it touted itself as a "road flick," a genre that I'm usually a fan of. I'll admit the gratuitous violence in the beginning had me laughing just because of how corny it was presented, but this wore itself out several minutes later. The film tries to loosely have some kind of "hell" theme by continuously referring to $6.66 as payment for different items they buy along the way. We get it. You didn't have to do it 7 times. I wasn't sure exactly what theme the writer was trying to convey, but it doesn't matter because the story it was based on was so bad anyway. The filmmakers try to use shocking visuals and group sex to (I guess) grab the attention of the audience, which is good because it diverts that attention away from the terrible story that's going on. Don't waste your time.
