The "under the radar" Dark Comedy of 2006

This film got slept on back in 2006, but Art School Confidential is a solid dark comedy by director Terry Zwigoff of Ghost World and Bad Santa fame. Based on the 1991 comic by David Clowes (Ghost World), Art School Confidential tells the story of an under appreciated freshman art student whose work is overshadowed by way less talented idiots, and learns the cutthroat world art while trying to impress the girl of his dreams. Honestly, I was laughing about 75% of time during the movie where the other 25% left me with melancholy feelings toward the protagonist's struggle in the movie. Overall, if you're a fan of Ghost World and Bad Santa or dark comedies in general, you will enjoy Art School Confidential like I did.
