I LOVE indie comedies,and hell,with a little bit of romance,ever better. Saying that,I found this film AWFUL. There are many many reasons,of which I will now list. 1.Michael Cera-I like him,he's a funny actor,but he is quickly getting typecast...seriously,If I see him play another sweet dorky boy who plays music,I might vomit. 2.There was absolutely NO character development,most of them were unlikeable,especially the main characters.The only saviours were the drunken friend and the camp friends. 3.The plot,the premise was just stupid....it just left me walking out the cinema thinking "who the hell cares" 4.The fact that it was one of the most pretentious films I have EVER seen.It felt as if the writers had simply thought of all "cool" and "alternative" teenage things that they could,and randomly spat them into one film. It just felt contrived. 5.The "non-wit" of the characters. Juno it was not. 6.The fact that the audience is expected to care,and empathise,with two people who have just met, being jealous of each others exes,etc...THEY HAVE JUST MET!! Why would they care,unless they were annoyingly neurotic. 7.It feels like it was written by a child...you know in English where you have to write a story and try to pack EVERYTHING in....This epitomises it....Then they did this,then they did this..then they did thiiiiis....cue marginally exciting ending. 8.The epic love story...seriously....they shag..after meeting a few hours previously,and were expected to think its sweet.Its not.
The film had a few funny lines,but it wasn't enough to save it.
