It's New Year's Eve 1981, and pairings of friends are trying to make it to a New York party. They all seem to get sidetracked for one reason or another and their comedic misadventures lead to them to the party eventually, and to feats of self discovery.

200 Cigarettes has nothing groundbreaking and isn't incredibly funny. It is rather witty and somewhat intelligent, though. Most of the dialogue is worth hearing and there are more than one wacky situations the characters get into that prove pretty funny. One of it's real highlights, however, is the Art Direction; each and every scene is lit perfectly and is a wonderful composition of color.

Look for Elvis Costello in a great cameo role.
