Impotent adaptation with an identity crisis, that doesn't know if it wants to be an absurdist satire, rom-com, or drama. I think Roger Avary tried to reproduce the formula of Pulp Fiction, but just couldn't pull it off. There were too many side-characters included from the book that were completely unnecessary for the movie, like the 3 scenes with Rupert, the OD scene with Harry, the bedroom and restaurant scenes with Richard, the diner scene with Victor etc. that just wasted precious time that should've been used to flesh out the 3 main characters (Sean, Paul, Lauren), instead of boiling down their characterization to a sophomoric "No one'll ever know anyone". I just hope someone someday will re-adapt the book into a TV series more faithfully in its original '80s setting.
