San Francisco Chronicle
200 Cigarettes doesn't have a bad scene or a false note. The picture is a succession of pointed little moments, nicely written by Shana Larsen and acted with comic assurance and sensitivity. - 50
USA Today
While the film comes to a mildly clever conclusion, it feels like a bottle of vintage champagne that never gets to pop its cork at midnight. All that fizz potential wasted. [26 Feb 1999] - 50
ReelViews
A tepid affair, distinguished by bland character development, uninspired and insipid dialogue, and a nonexistent plot. - 40
Chicago Reader
Sappy. - 40
Rolling Stone
Hit-and-mostly-miss. - 40
Time
The first few minutes have promise (with an all-star list of Gen-X actors), and the last few minutes provide fun (with snapshots of lovers and losers). In between there is a void--feeble jokes, a lot of falling down and foolish declarations. - 38
New York Daily News
This vapid '80 punk party reeks of 200 Cigarettes. - 12
Chicago Sun-Times
Dreadful...Maybe another 200 cigarettes would have helped; coughing would be better than some of this dialogue.
