For Jip, Lulu, Koop, Nina and Moff, the dead-end jobs they endure during the week just kill the time until Friday night. That's when they cut very loose and get on the crazy roller coaster ride that takes them right through to Monday morning. An adrenaline-pumped comedy, "Human Traffic" chronicles the ups and downs -- both chemical and emotional -- of five friends whose weekends are filled with endless clubbing, pubbing and partying where there are no rules, no limits and no saying "no."

4/5

A reminder of that interesting 90s moment when euphoria and uncomplicated fun had cultural cachet.

The director of the film, Justin Kerrigan, is 25. He sees his story from the inside. It's based on his friends. There is no perspective, no angle.

Now regarded as a cult classic, this British comedy offers a smart and satirical look at the country's late-1990s subcultures and society.

…while Human Traffic isn’t exactly a timeless classic, it’s one of the better films that attempted to exploit or just describe a brief shining moment of drugged-up, misplaced social idealism…a revealing artefact of the time in the late-90’s…

2.5/4

Watching this movie is sort of like taking drugs: Human Traffic is great fun for the 84 minutes you're there, but it's hard to remember what exactly happened and ultimately feels pointless (at least in retrospect).

The film's high spirits are contagious and wholly impossible to resist.

Perfect Sunday hangover movie for those who are old enough to remember clubbing in the 90s.

One of my all-time faves. Great portrayal of DJ/Rave/Club culture, friendship between young men and women and how they can fall in love and/or navigate relationship issues.

Amazing movie that absolutely captured 90s club culture. I would have expected to meet any one or more of those characters anytime I went out. The weekend has landed!

Human Traffic was a window into the lifestyle and priorities of the more outgoing 18 to 20 somethings of the time in the UK. My era, my scene. Did a great job reflecting it back at us.

Much better than I had expected. An entertaining enough romp, though hardly likely to stay long in the memory.
