Senseless

About This Movie

So, 'Senseless' is this quirky blend of comedy and romance, directed by Penelope Spheeris, who's known for her energetic style. The film centers on a college student who, after taking a wild experimental drug, has his senses heightened in some bizarre ways. It's not exactly profound, but the tonal shifts can be pretty amusing. The pacing, though, feels a bit uneven at times. The practical effects used to portray the sensory overloads are a mixed bag. You've got a young David Spade doing his usual thing, and while he might not be everyone's cup of tea, he pulls off the character with a certain charm. It’s one of those flicks that captures late '90s college culture, even if it’s a bit of a wild ride.

Released on DVD in 2003, later on Blu-ray in 2018.Runtime of 88 minutes, typical for a late '90s comedy.Features early performances from some notable actors.Filmed in various college campuses, capturing that vibe.
