What a crappy sound track. Maybe I'm not hip enough to enjoy it?
I thought it was going to be another "Little Miss Sunshine" event. A lot of hype about a supposed great must see film that turned out be to be junk. And for the first twenty minutes or so, I was counting the times I laughed out loud. I could because there were so few.
I think what finally engaged me was the Jennifer Garner character. She was just so crazy in a believable way. Or you could call it desperate. And the movie started to take some unexpected turns; The icky relationship with Jason Bateman (who I like more and more), the wierd friends, and the parents.
I thought a lot of the dialogue was too precocious. It didn't seem to reflect the language of teenagers, only how the writer thought really cool teenage characters would sound. But it settled down after a while.
This movie might have to find you in the right mood, and it almost didn't for me. Still it garnered (Jennifer, see?) a lot more hype than it deserved.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
