As a current art student, this film came up in many conversations during class. Some said it was funny, others didn't like it, so i decided to see for myself. As the movie starts, the mood seems as though it's going to be a satire to the whole art school environment, and how things are done, and the kind of people there are at the schools. It was humorous to see the cliché art students. Although soon enough the film began to depart as it seemed it was going to be about Jeromy getting laid, and another college virgin story. But soon the film finds ground and becomes a bit of a love story, as Jeromy finds the 'perfect'.
Around this time is where the film suddenly spawns numerous plots and usually would not be seen in the same film. The murder mystery emerges of the local serial killer. This entire subplot, seemed to ruin the art school aspect of the film. As the satire of art school dwindled and the film became more and more bleak, and began dealing with the hopelessness of being successful, it seems as though the entire art school satire set up had been for nothing. By the end of the film you don't recall anything in the beginning that really helped bring a close to the film.
Over all this film was scattered and the 2nd half didn't not deliver what the first half promises the film to be about.
