This movie was really good and all, but mostly I’m pissed off that there weren’t any great movies about awkward teenagers when I personally was one. We had Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club, that was IT!!
I just now saw this (in the theater even!), and at the 2 hour point, I was all “everyone said how disturbing this movie was, but this is pretty straight-forward for Terry Gilliam, and it must be almost over…”. then a few minutes later i was all, “OH THERE IT IS. THERE’S THE GILLIAM. CAN’T SLEEP CLOWNS WILL EAT ME.”
still, love it. also, WTF – DeNiro?
SUPER cute, in a good, clean fun kind of way, not at all annoying. Amy Adams is truly the bomb diggity, and i had no idea James Marsden was so FUNNY!
very sweet, with snappy, witty Whedonesque dialog. Michael Cera is adorable, and hey, free Allison Janney! Ellen Page has this kickass Janeane Garofalo-meets-Jodie Foster thing goin’ on.
nicely done! all the stories are quite different, and so many of them – reminded me a bit of Night On Earth, although there’s a rather saccarine ending. just the variety of styles and stories kept me interested. Steve Buscemi is so my boyfriend.
the unending beauty of its wrongness gives meaning to my life. hands-down, the funniest movie i’ve ever seen in my entire life.
very densely packed with bizarre hilarity – you really get your Cusack’s worth of strangeness. Extremely quotable (and I do).
you would have to already be a fan of Wes Anderson movies, but i like them, so i liked this.
could have been woven more tightly, but whatever. terrific music, and my favorite Angelica Huston performance evah!
cute premise, and some good performances, but incongruous music, poor pacing, and an awkward narrative made it just “okay” for me.
