Movie about a snotty, self-involved brat surrounded by other snotty, self-involved people. Aiming for the Catcher in the Rye sensibility, the movie suffers because the main character is just as unpleasant and hypocritical as the characters he disdains. He was an arrogant little creep feeling sorry for himself and somehow seducing women in spite of little real charm.
Of course, it would have helped if this movie had been, as so many people on this site insist, funny. I watched an hour waiting for it to be funny, and except for a somewhat clever comment about Jesus Christ it's really not funny in the least. In the end, a good cast was wasted on pretentious drivel about unlikeable people.
