Very quirky, sparky dialog, especially from the teens' characters and Allison Janney's character, Brenda.
Quite funny at times.
Great acting from Ellen Page; the director did a perfect job there. Unfortunately, I found J.K. Simmons to be not as good as in other films; same with Janney. Bateman & Garner make a great couple on-screen, their performances are great.
The subject is quite unoriginal, but the directing, Ellen Page's excellent acting, and the witty dialog make the film worth watching.
7/10
