3 star movie with a 4 star soundtrack equals a 3.5 star rating.
I wasn't especially into Loser when it came out. It was Amy Heckerling's next movie after CLUELESS though, so I was wondering if maybe it's a hidden gem that I just didn't appreciate at the time. It's not, unfortunately, but it's fine. Mena Suvari is adorable, and the soundtrack is killer. They gave Jason Biggs an unfortunate haircut.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweetly awkward comedy about finding your place in an overwhelming city and falling for someone just as lost as you are. It's earnest and a little goofy, with the kind of romantic stumbling that feels genuine.
