An average movie

To be honest, I didn’t have some huge expectations regarding this movie but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be another typical Michael Cera vehicle and I guess we don’t hear much from him anymore because he never managed to be cast in something else than such roles of spineless losers. And, yet, this movie was not bad though. Indeed, the way the character was aching for sex but also to just have a girlfriend was actually so recognizable and Cera was actually quite pitch-perfect. Concerning Portia Doubleday, who was this girl with this incredible name?!? Indeed, I had never heard of her before and I wonder what she has done afterwards. Well, even though she was really cute and they made an effort to match their taste and interests, to be honest, I don’t think she had much chemistry with Cera though. Concerning the concept of this movie, the reason why it got this title, well, to be honest, I didn’t care much for it. I mean, if they really had pushed it very far or made it really dark, maybe, it would have been interesting but the way it was handled in this movie was too much aimlessly all-over-the-place. It was the same issue with the cast. Indeed, this cast was pretty neat (Zach Galifianakis, Steve Buscemi, Fred Willard, Ari Graynor, Ray Liotta, Justin Long, Rooney Mara, M. Emmet Walsh, Mary Kay Place) but most of them did end up with only a few scenes after all. As far as I was concerned, I was above all pretty neat to see Rooney Mara only 2 years before she got her breakthrough with ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ playing some kind of oversexed nympho even if it was only for a couple of scenes. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch though and I think it is worth a look, at least, if you like the genre.
