Aug 2, 2000 12:00am PT Naked with Loons Stuffed with what sounds like material recycled from a standup act, tyro helmer Bryan Snyder's "Naked With Loons" has a good heart at the center of a comedy-drama about five adult pals nearing 30 and re-evaluating their lives, but pic is so amateurishly staged and overwritten that all intentions are defeated.

Long, windy discussions on everything from the bliss of being naked to the perils and promises of parenthood punctuate camp-out.

Crew: Camera CFI color , James LeGoy; art director, Ula Stensland; costume designer, Oneita Parker.
