Director: Rich Wilkes
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
"El Rancho," a sort of punk rock Animal_House, is the setting for this college drama. Five roommates live in this group house on the cusp of college graduation. Jack (a mohawk-wearing Ben_Affleck) is an art major pining over his ex-girlfriend, while Rob (Sam_Rockwell) fears domestication after graduation. The artist of a popular campus comic strip, Mickey (Vinnie DeRamus), is still too shy to talk to girls. Slosh (Vien_Hong) is an A-student who gave up his education in favor of drinking and partying. The elder of the crew is Dennis (French_Stewart), who, despite the wisdom and advice he offers to his younger housemates, is unaware of the less-than-academic attentions of his professor (John Rhys-Davies). The five consider whether they can postpone their lives to stay for one more year. The film missed the trend in Generation X films (Reality_Bites, Singles, Kicking and Screaming) by a few years; as a result, the punk characters and soundtrack of this latecomer probably provide a more authentic atmosphere. The rowdy debauchery distinguishes itself through genuine honesty -- drinking and destroying furniture may not be the healthiest way to deal with youthful angst, but it is certainly popular. Spalding_Gray, Matt_Damon, and Matthew McConaughey make interesting cameo appearances. Jonathan E. Laxamana, Rovi
