While slightly less atrocious than the team's first 'film' "Blondes in the Jungle", L for Leisure is the type of vapid cesspool that fills the void when talented, thoughtful filmmakers either lack the means of making films or simply promoting/distributing them. Centered around a group of smug, completely uninteresting, privileged "grad school students" who sit around smoking drugs and flaunting their privilege, this witless bore clocks in around 74 minutes, but feels at least twice as long. What's even worse, is that it's clearly not a commentary against these people, but presented as if they were lovable, relatable "characters" worth watching because they were able to film them.
As with their first excretion (Blondes in the Jungle), the dialog is unbearable, the acting non- existent. (save, perhaps for one montage of a singe "character" out exploring the world on his own.) If it weren't for a handful (say 2-3) bad ideas, L for Leisure wouldn't contain any at all.
Nobody should encourage or pay attention to anything these two do until they actually have something to say, a story to tell, some level of commentary or just plain anything. The fact that this has been screened as widely as it has it a crime against film and art. My only advice for the "directors" would be to find a new way to spend your trust fund, preferably one that doesn't drag audiences and entire cultural art forms through the mud along with you.
