A good movie

To be honest, there is a fair chance that my rating might be actually too generous for this movie. First of all, the first issue is that Michael Cera was once again playing the same character all over again and while it was quite cute when he got his breakthrough with 'Superbad' and 'Juno' (2 decent movies which were still rather overrated in my opinion), it is getting rather tiresome by now. Furthermore, except for the gay guys, all the supporting characters were either clueless and/or obnoxious. Even Caroline, played by Ari Graynor, was at first alright but she spent most of the movie drunk providing a really underwhelming sub-plot. Still, somehow, I actually enjoyed the damned thing and it was above all thanks to Kat Dennings, a really underrated actress with a very interesting look and tons of charisma. For once, she was playing the lead and everytime she was on the screen, I was interested again while the story was actually nothing really amazing. On top of that, I have to admit that she had some pretty good chemistry with Cera. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was actually a decent watch and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

7/10
