Growing up fast is not necessarily bad; but in retrospect on my first year in college‚ I tried to grow up too fast and lost my youth. There is something about being young. The jokes. The fun. The spontaneity. But when does youth end? I do not think it should end. There is nothing wrong with occasionally goofing off or taking a random road trip once and a while.

Yes‚ it’s a little long‚ almost two hours‚ but there are plenty of laughs throughout the movie‚ especially in the last 30 minutes‚ and they also save one of the best jokes for last.

The SLACKERETTES is a proposed one half-hour sitcom. The premise about three slackers tying to work as little as possible and coming up with crazy and zany ideas to support their lifestyle has merit.
