Review title: Less Than Zero
Product review: I remembered why I loved this movie as a teen growing up in the 80s. The music, the wardrobe, and McCarthy, Gertz, Spader, and Downey, Jr. were some of my favorite actors during this period. While watching the film now as an adult, I can see the flaws in the dialogue and direction - some of the scenes played like music videos - but the acting, especially by Downey, Jr. was actually pretty good. Gertz is quite believable as the snobby, "I can quit anytime I want to" coke queen, Blair and McCarthy displays his charm as Mr. Nice Guy, Clay, but it's really Downey, Jr. as the drugged out Julian who's the real presence in this film. Downey's Julian is spot on as the guy who's down on his luck and can't catch a break so he resorts to drugs to mask the pain of life and the pain of losing his friend, Clay, to a successful college career. Spader's drug dealer, Rip, is fun to watch as well.
