: First off, it's about NOTHING, and I personally couldn't connect with any of the characters. I'm not against movies that aren't plot oriented, but at least give me SOMETHING to connect with- something visual, poetic, subtextual, or character based. With GHOST WORLD, I wasn't able to connect with it on *ANY* of these levels at all, so it all came across as a very empty and pointless exercise indeed. There were a few clever and/or cute/interesting moments, but as a feature film, nothing jellew at all.

I liked it because it was nice to see a teen movie not having to do with getting laid. I loved Thora Birch's character. She reminds me of some of my friends and a little of myself, what with the whole nonconformist attitude. Also, like me, she does not listen to contemporary music. And Steve Buscemi and Illeana Douglas were great.
But that's just my opinion.
