Saw this last night, written and directed by Greg Mottola, the same guy who did Superbad. It's not as slapstick and broad as Superbad, but it still has its moments. Jesse Eisenberg (who was Michael Cera in Roger Doger before Michael Cera was even Michael Cera) does a pretty good job, and Ryan Reynolds actually seems less douchey playing a charactar who is supposed to be a big douche. Go figure. I guess it just struck a chord for me with the whole being "lost after college" affect to it. Mottola's directing is pitch-perfect, and the soundtrack is great.

I give this movie 4.5 out of 5 fingers.

I believe Kristen Stewart is in this movie.

I find her quite fetching.

She is of age, right?

That was 90 minutes or so I'll never get back.

The highlight was watching THE OTHER CHICK "Lisa G" was much hotter looking than Kristen Stewart, in every way:

You should've seen the writing on the wall like I did and turned this steaming pile of crap off after 20 minutes.


And I can't stand the kid in the lead role, Jesse Eisenberg. He is no Michael Cera, not by a long shot. The guy has no business playing the role of comic straight guy, he's awful. He should stick to dramas or maybe just not work anymore.

That's great SHAKES!

I'm looking forward to seeing ZOMBIELAND, which is getting a 95% rating on rotten tomatoes.

But that pube headed kid is costarring with Woody Harrelson and Emma Stone in it.

Do Woody and Emma offset the pube headed hack actor?

Just saw this for the first time tonight. I always assumed it was lame. It's actually one of the best movies I've seen in awhile. I loved the dialogue, the characters, the way it's filmed and the soundtrack. Movies usually aren't this real anymore.

Michael Cera?? :lol: he's awful. Jesse eisenberg plays his characters almost flawlessly in this movi, IMO. It's a much more compelling character than anything I've seen Cera as

Agreed with all the above. This thing had film school written all over it.
