Storyline

Igby Slocumb, a rebellious and sarcastic 17-year-old boy, is at war with the stifling world of old money privilege he was born into. With a schizophrenic father, a self-absorbed, distant mother, and a shark-like young Republican big brother, Igby figures there must be a better life out there -- and sets about finding it.

Critics consensus

“In the vein of The Catcher in the Rye, Igby Goes Down is scathingly witty and sharply observant.”

Steers puts a lot of balls in the air, but no one, including Igby, gets developed far enough for viewers to really know and care about them.

Yes, it's The Catcher in the Rye all over again - with generous helpings of Rushmore, The Graduate, Bret Easton Ellis and The Ice Storm. Igby never reaches those heights ...

The poignancy of the conclusion leaves you hoping fervently that Igby's best is still to come - and Culkin's, as well.

Igby Goes Down exudes more pain than any screwball comedy should be asked to.
