Less Than Zero [DVD]

If you know this movie it’s a great rewind to see some of the best young actors

phenomenal.i am makin'this review LONG,because i love the actors in it overall.and i love the entire movie!simply a great movie.Not a cheesy old movie at all IMO.Glad most online forums they love it as i see why.The way clay was going to bail him out of a huge debt what like thousands of $$$ without any regret just to "save some 1 he truly do love"i cry at that part,by the pool.such a GREAT acting scene.INCREDIBLY HEARTBREAKING AND SAD TO SAY.FIVE STARS EASY.in the infamous words of JULIAN poor guy,"whose going to take care of you guys when i am gone?" aw. when i see this scene and they were really helping him so much at this point,i was crying because i just was hoping julian will be OK in the end.Now,i have not read the book,i do not want to.i hear was not all that.and i prefer the ON-SCREEN honestly i love it. and i love how CLEAN straight laceCute Clay was! PERFECT IDEAL guy.He say to his"tru lov"who he came back for he tell her"I love you i really do but i will not go DOWN like that"or something to this effect i love this movie,and the 2 of them DRIVE Off after literally arguing in the Bridge of all places,lol Clay red car was so cool in he movie,and so fittinfor clay,then at the end just gets to me each time which i will not tell here.but so sad.another highlight for me is the two of them"CLEANING A VERY SICK DRUG UP"julian.wow.so tragic,and sad.really was. and CLAY the first time"see"visibly what the drug and all has been doing to julian for which we know Jami Gertz character has been "used to seeing"so sad. i turn away during this scene just was so sad.funny scene:when James Spader, whose name is typical 80s hollywood type name for a kid like that in80s~ lol richy kid who go by simply Ripp or RIP lol when the club scene when they are all lookin for julian and rip goes,um oh my god,this is like a [...] game show!"everybody is askin'where's julian!"lol so funny he is a crack up,but yet so mean what he was making poor 'defenseless/drug up/no life/julian weak self do for the DEBT he owe to Rip"the thousands he owe rip,that was sad.but i love this movie..."What RIP (james spader)the dealer richy type stuck up troublesome dealer make julian do for him to PAY off the debt was omg beyond sleazy!" yet we knowin real life things like JULIAN character go on and i wish it did not very tragic/sad.i do not know why i watch it each and almost EVERY time i catch it on t.v.cable.then i order mi dvd classic copy of it and mi amigos. and us always say um,OK like why are we watching this incredibly good but yet very sad movie,the ending is SO TRAGIC,and i guess we just are HUGE fans of this 1 of a kind,Handsome AMAZING 80s,and beyond talent of huge capacity robert downey jr.i also had no clue handsome boyish (Even now in his mid forties)or early forties,i had no idea clay portrayer 1 of my faves andrew mccarthy is from near me,from westfield new jersey as one of my closest friends who live there for 15 years here family live blocks away from his family! had no clue about this. tall pretty dark hair with curls jamie gertz i believe actin'fell short. not great but the end she was awesome very realistic.sad movie but what a great 80s classic,that still has most importantly a STRONG message at the end,IMO anyhow.and throughout.sad though.i love james spader always sleazy funny mean in his roles like this lol but very realistic.goes to show all of you here whose WEAK,the strong truly do only survive in life,prosper,move onto such happy lives/greatness,always keep GOD first,be around people who can always UPLIFT you,and truly do love you for you.When julian REALIZE just who TRULY love him,as real life it was way too late.so TRAGIC,at the end.so sad.but i love less than zero can watch it, and cry to it forever.Had a few laughs during some scenes,actin'fell flatat some scenes mostly when JAMI GERTZ WAS SPEAKING lol but i love her still.and i cry at the ending each time.Nevertheless i will forever be a fan ofthis GREAT TRUE TO LIFE MOVIE.Forever a fan of the 2 great actors in it the character of clay and julianPERFECTLY-REALISTICALLY portray by andrew mccarthy/robert downey jr.Adios.

Everything was as expected. Thanks.

Exactly what I expected, arrived fast, sooner than time expected.

I saw this movie when it first hit theaters in the '80s. Although I was disappointed that it did not adhere to the novel (an updated version of "Catcher in the Rye?"), I thought it was a helluva movie in its own right.... What sets this movie apart from other 80s teen flicks is this: it doens't end with some diabetes-inducing sweet Hollywood happy ending (and I think that is what really disturbs people). True, the movie's main point seems to be "Just Say No". But underneath lies other messages. True friends are rare, there are way too many plastic people running around, it's way to easy to get stuck in a rut and sometimes life just really sucks.McCarthy does a fine job as the guy who tried to leave his go nowhere high school life behind and move on only to get sucked in again. Gertz, never one of my favorites, abley portrays the spectator to her friend Julian's self-destruction and tries to ignore it even though she is heading in the same direction. And Downey, Jr.? Geez, he nails his part as Julian the well meaning dreamer who's on a bullet train to Dante's Inferno with really scary accuracy.On a lighter note: the classic Corvette McCarthy drives is sweet. And watch for the scene in the basement dance club where the boom mic guy can be seen clear as day.A great flick with lots of substance. If nothing else, get it for your kids. It may not scare'em straight, but it may make'em think twice.

Great movie and great DVD

great great movie and my mom is very happy to have it again. it made me so happy to get it for her. 10$ well spent! thanks y'all!

Less Than Zero is a very extraordinary movie. It encomposes everything a great movie has. Love, friendship, loyalty, distruction, yet it describes the real world as it is in it's harsh yet true reality. The movie begins like any other with the main characters. Clay (Andrew McCarthy), Julien (Robert Downey Jr.), and Roxie (Jamie Gertz) have just graduated from High School and are looking forward to the rest of their lives. Clay played by the very very talented Andrew McCarthy decides to go away for college and his girlfriend Roxie decided not to go with him at the last minute. Clay leaves her behind and Roxie and Julien enter a world of partying and drugs. While in school Clay recieves a phone call from Roxie her now ex- girlfriend. She's worried about Julien and is asking Clay for help. Clay loyal to his friends even though he caught his girlfriend (Roxie) sleeping with his best friend (Julien) goes back home during Christmas break to help his friend who is in deep trouble oweing incredible amounts of money to people who are out to get him. As the story unfolds thier friendship seems more real and true than in the beginning and demonstrates what friends are really for, despite Juliens drug habits and lifestyle he is being forced to live in. Not giving away the end the once relationship with Roxie and Clay blossoms once again. Julien's however lifestyle eventually left him behind with LESS THAN ZERO. I encouage everyone to watch this movie that is more real than any other movie dealing with drugs. Robert Downey Jr. Is excellent in this movie, giving a real perception of people on drugs, probably because of his own drug habits. He's great along with his co'stars, Andrew McCarthy and Jamie Gertz.

was a christmas present receipient was thrilled

Måste ha lånat ut mitt exemplar för den fanns inte i bokhyllan när jag ville ha den. Köper helt enkelt ett nytt exemplar. Bret Easton Ellis debutroman.

Excelente película RDJR te amo❤️

Robert Downey Jr. protagoniza este filme donde no puedes distinguir fácilmente en qué partes está siendo él mismo y en cuáles está interpretando al personaje ya que coincide con la etapa más oscura del actor. La película está basada en un libro del mismo autor de American Psycho y presenta la realidad de igual manera: cruda y espectacular. No es un filme que resulte fácil de ver si el espectador está pasando por un mal momento (TRIGGER WARNING). De todas formas, recomendada al 100%.El DVD presenta la película y más nada (no hay extras). Se incluyen fotos del producto junto a un bolígrafo para valorar dimensiones.[Si te resultó interesante mi comentario me ayudarías mucho votando "sí" en la pregunta de abajo sobre si te resultó útil mi opinión, gracias]
