Crumb, Ghost World, Bad Santa — all solid Indy comedies, a pretty decent streak if you ask me, and, sure, every hot streak must come to end, but how can anyone end a hot streak with something as terrible as Art School Confidential?

It is relatively rare that I refer to film as downright terrible, usually that honor is reserved for the work Michael Bay, Brett Ratner or starring Julia Roberts, Terry Zwigoff should never have been mentioned in the list, yet there he is.

Basic Plot: Kid wants to be a great artist – kid goes to art school – wackiness ensues. This leaves a lot of room to work with but somehow Zwigoff and writer Daniel Clowes turn this film into jumbled mess of stereotypes, that you can't help but groan at. For the purpose of this review, I'm not going to go into too much detail, it doesn't deserve the attention. Suffice it to say I can't recommend this film to anyone, even on rental. Watch at your own risk.
