Movie House Commentary
New York Times (Janet Maslin)
In "S.F.W.," terrorists trap a group of hostages inside a convenience store for 36 days, until the place runs out of beer. Sure, the hostages suffer, but their ordeal is nothing beside what an audience endures watching Jefery Levy's noxiously smug film. ...read the complete S.F.W. movie review at New York Times (Janet Maslin)

S.F.W. stands for “So F**kin’ What?”—the personal credo of one Cliff Spab (Stephen Dorff), a Generation X nobody who becomes famous after being held hostage for 36 days in a Fun Stop convenience store.
1995’s Gen X movie ...read the complete S.F.W. movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
Austin Chronicle (Alison Macor)
IMDB.com
S.F.W. was probably devised as that would mark its time a nihilistic manifesto of "Generation X". This lofty ambition, however, obviously proved way beyond Levy's rather modest filmmaking abilities. Levy seems lost in this film, not sure whether to ...read the complete S.F.W. movie review at IMDB.com
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
`S.F.W." is the kind of movie to inspire members of Generation X to lie about their age. It qualifies Forrest Gump for a genius grant. It is a portrait of the most singularly stupid, ...read the complete S.F.W. movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

I had seen this movie for the first time on TV. It was so much better without everything being cut out of it! I loved how the movie all tied together these two lives from their most intimate thoughts to their most ultimate betrayals. The ironic ending ...

This is greasy-haired, mid-90's, existentialist anti-drama at it's finest. Cliff Spab walks the world, like Camus' Stranger, unaffected by the violence, sex and drugs that inundate him. He stands, balanced on the edge of a knife, sometimes loathing the ...

This film was unreal. It really captured the whole essence of media well.The person below me fails to realise that this film has many characures. Most of them aren't supposed to make sense. And if you look at how he acted in the hostage situation you ...

It's begining to show it's age, but this satrical drama remains a topical dissection of the American facination with the cult of the non-celebrity. Stephen Dorff is the angry young man who is amoung a group taken hostage by camcorder-weilding ...

To begin with, this movie is not for the dim witted. it's not for the shallow people who go through life just scratching the surface of things. There is a deeper meaning to this movie than the majority of the population can catch on to. Every word, every ...
