CGiii Comment
There's a gay nurse, a performance artist - and, the surprises come...rarely.
The script is wholly ridiculous as is the cast - Culkin is too young and too unattractive to fully comprehend the many sexual conquests he receives.
Phillippe should forget he even took part - it really is terrible.

The(ir) Blurb...
Igby Slocumb, a rebellious and sarcastic seventeen year-old boy, is at war with the oppressive world of his East Coast "old money" family. With a schizophrenic father, a self-absorbed, distant mother, and a shark-like young Republican big brother, Igby figures there must be a better life out there, and he sets out to find it. After happily flunking out of several Prep Schools, Igby escapes into the bohemian underworld of Manhattan. His darkly comic trip--shared by a deviant cast of characters, including his terminally bored, part-time lover Sookie, his Godfather's trophy mistress Rachel, and smack-dealing performance artists Russel--veers from bizarre to tragic in Igby's ultimately noble attempt to keep himself from "going down."
