"Beautiful Losers" follows a loose-knit group of like-minded and creative outsiders in the 1990s who found common ground at a little NYC storefront art gallery. Rooted in the do-it-yourself subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip-hop and graffiti, these individuals created art that reflected the lifestyles they led. The documentary speaks to the collective memory of the 1990s and sheds new light on those that were unbeknownst to mainstream America, but in the end, left an indelible mark on the worlds of fashion, music, art, design, film and ironically, sports.

Art film...

A Customer from London, 17th October, 2009

Does 'art film' say enough? Basically a documentary about some arty types. I've no idea how this got onto my rental list. If you can, don't add it to yours.

Shocking - no redeeming features what so ever. Dont waste a rental on this dull pointless film! Yawn - dull - yawn! Only half a star as it wont let me put zero.

Interesting

A Customer from Bristol, 6th December, 2009

Not entirely sure if I got the same DVD as all other reviewers, but I found this to be an interesting portrait of a group of skaters-cum-artists who became a movement. Rent if you're a fan of graffiti art and skating, don't if your a person who often has 'mad five minutes' (see other reviews).
