I have liked Daria & her best pal Jane quite a bit, but I've always liked them more in small doses caught by accident in half-hour episodes one at a time.
This movie-length version I made the mistake of watching with friends on a super-enormous screen where its design limitations just glared. I just kept thinking, shit, we could be watching a real movie instead. Daria's sitcom-animation impact is much greater if one is stuck with a choice of the usual cable fare, over which one has no control, & then all of a sudden at least Daria comes on.
The story's not worth describing. It's enough to know Daria is a droll smart ass with creepy parents, Jane is a droll rebel with a rocker brother, & Jane & Daria have a bit of a falling out that involves a boyfriend.
