Before i watched the movie i thought it was going to be a typical teenage comedy, the stuff Michael Cera normally acts in, which involved turning himself into the typical bad boy to get that girl the old him couldn't.
About half an hour into watching it, i absolutely hated it. Michael Cera's character was ridiculously creepy, desperate and obsessed. Again my opinion was just to wait for the inevitable change in character and hope it turned out a lot better.
Well i can neither say if i was right or wrong.
Some bits intrigued me. The introduction of the brother immediately made the movie a whole lot better, but for barely 10 or so minutes. What had started so pathetic and boring, turned into an interesting and weird second half. It just seems to get more strange as the film went on and on.
One thing that bothered me is the constant use and then dismissal of what you thought would be a main character. His best friend at the beginning, the guy that sounded like he came from here (England), the girl he met in the toilets. They were all used and then as soon as there miniature part was played, they were unheard of for the remainder of the film.
Overall, though, it's worth a watch. Definitely better than a lot of other coming of age teen comedies.
