LOSER U.S.A. Independent Cinema - Fiction

This New York comedy turns the yuppie nightmare genre on its head by taking a lunkheaded no-hoper and dropping him into Manhattan glitzery. Hank is at the bottom of the heap – out of work, money and love. Then he wins the lottery and everyone wants to know him. Crammed with larger-than-life stereotypes – hopheads, hustlers, and hipsters – The Loser treads a narrow line between crackerbarrel humanism and gleeful misanthropy, but mainly it exudes delight at its own cheerful sense of fun. -Jonathan Romney, Time Out
