Year: 1996
Director: Rich Wilkes
Plot: "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, All Movie Guide

Body: ..it was the 90s, and people had just discovered *realistic* young adult comedy/dramas ? this is one of those. besides the obvious fun of the punk rock shirts/posters/product placements (when else are you gonna get to hear mtx on a soundtrack?) there ws little to keep me entertained.it was another one of those movies whose narrative moves along at a steady pace, and then 2 thirds of the films action has to take place (due to over-spending I would hazard a guess) in the last third. this movies heart is in the right place, and it was the 90s, the decade where even the most succinct of us with something to say ended up a little muddled (SFW being a prime example) so I'll cut it some slack.It's worth it for the all star cast. and the only time you'll ever see french stewart play alongside the likes of matt damon.
