A teenage outsider (Thora Birch) looks down on losers, weirdos and old people but then finds herself being attracted to one (Steve Buscemi).

Director Terry Zwigoff and his co-writer Daniel Clowes have an acute eye for the cultural conformity that passes in America for freedom. There's a delightful cameo from Illeana Douglas as a grievously under-talented art teacher ("My own background," she says cheerily as our heroine understandably rolls her eyes, "is in video and performance art"). But a few witty lines and strong acting can't disguise the fact that the satire lacks bite, and the plot goes nowhere.
