For some reason I thought that Phillip Seymor Hoffman was in this. I have never liked Owen Wilson in any film...ever. He was always the guy I had to sit through until the movie continued. I also was unaware that Woody Allen had any part of this film. Apparently I thought I was watching a totally different movie before it started. I do think that i enjoyed it more not knowing what it was about going into it. I found it to be highly entertaining sparked by the woody allenness 8/10

if the first 50 minutes was only 20, we're looking at one of the top films ever made. since the first 50 minutes was indeed 50 minutes of dragging backstory that was more than unnecessary, we arent even looking at the best film of the year. Its upsetting becauser the rest of the movie was thoroughly enjoyable. all the side stories, the battle scenes, all of it beautiful to watch. sad that they felt the need to create something that had no purpose to the film. around an 8/10

impressed. i pretty much blindly like anything giamatti does (mostly cause of his dad...and his acting) but besides that, its just a nice movie. the kid was good, not amazing, but believable in the role which is more important. i think my favorite thing about the film is that they didnt give him some bs high school romance crap. i felt good after watching it. 7/10

the only movie ive ever seen that is actually "like" Taxi Driver. i hear all the time that this movie is like Taxi Driver, or that movie is like Taxi Driver. If your movie is like TAxi Driver, you wouldnt say its like Taxi Driver, because it would be quite un-Taxi Driver of them. He's just not as good as Deniro. between a 7-7.5/10...closer to a seven because its just not as good as...Taxi Driver

so i went into this assuming the usual teen flick with an extra laugh here or there courtesy of dan fogler and topher grace. what i was not expecting was to actually enjoy the film. it was actually funny and i didnt mind the love interest (which honestly ruins most movies, but the studios feel they have to do it to get the girls to go). i do hate anna faris though. the only time i think i would enjoy watching her is if a horse was repeatedly kicking her in the throat. even though...7/10
