Leave your thoughts about Flakes.
| DVDTalk.comBrian OrndorfHey Flakes, 1994 called: they want their unshaved, American Spirit-smoking statement on individual artistic potential struggling to survive in a corporate world back |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThe amazing Deschanel once again proves her astonishing ability to exist comfortably within a scene, as well as slightly above it. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenA business course on cutthroat capitalism disguised as a slacker comedy: That’s the kindest way to describe Michael Lehmann’s Flakes. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayThe characters Lehmann and company use as generational mouthpieces bear no relation to any people who have ever existed, and they barely work as parody. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile Stanford is more annoying than endearing as the self-righteous slacker, the charming Deschanel provides the film with its few moments of genuine fun with her offbeat turn as the wily, put-upon girlfriend. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanUnless you happen to be one yourself, chances are pretty good that you'll take an immediate dislike to the self-satisfied hipsters who populate this disappointing comedy. |
| Slant MagazinePaul SchrodtOne look at Aaron Stanford's chain-smoking, long-haired musician in a Hanes t-shirt and you know Flakes wants so badly to be hip. |
| CinematicalScott WeinbergI hate to be so down on a comedy that comes from so many filmmakers and actors I admire, but this flick's about as satisfying as a bowl of soggy Corn Flakes. |
| Village VoiceJulia WallaceDespite a few good one-liners, the dialogue is overwritten, and director Michael Lehmann (Heathers, The Truth About Cats & Dogs) is in thrall with the hipness he tries to chronicle. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThere are a few sweet moments as the story reaches its unsurprising conclusion. But, all in all, Flakes isn't going to bowl you over. |
