I also haven't been enjoying Zoey Deschanel as much since her snotty appearance on Top Chef; what seemed quirky and charming in the past now reads as obnoxious and snobby and indier-than-thou. <br /><br />Most enjoyed scene in our house was when they showed the record executives pondering over the uptick in Belle and Sebastian cds in Michigan. DF never had a scene from his life played out in movies and was amused by the idea of a conference room full of gold records (as opposed to a conference room full of boxes and other office crap).planbreakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983548795618294922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351054.post-67910247765296337632010-02-20T00:11:10.142-05:002010-02-20T00:11:10.142-05:00I agree with nearly everything you said here.

I immediately found something else to do and watched this halfheartedly, stifling vomit creeping up my throat on several occasions. at one point, i felt the hate melt away and i cackled at how absurd it is and how i was getting worked up over nothing but that doesn't meant his movie isn't a huge waste of talent and time with very, very few redeeming qualities. i too wish netflix allowed half rating because this deserves half a star. it made me long to watch two for the road again, a much much better fractured tale of a dissolving relationship.Crispin H.

And it's not really even hipster. It's like the writers were staking out an Urban Outfitters in Tulsa.<br /><br />Also, the only part I "liked" was the expectations versus reality. And I say liked loosely, because by that point, they already proved to me that they knew nothing about women. Which is why the film comes off as a hateful screed against that mysterious and bitchy creature.<br /><br />Also, oddly telling, this guy is directing the Spiderman reboot. Which might even star aforementioned Zach Efron as Spidey. Cinematic abortionist.<br /><br />All told, they owe Woody Allen some cash. And an apology.Fred Swayzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141841835267231975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351054.post-16707094143998466542010-02-19T13:36:44.445-05:002010-02-19T13:36:44.445-05:00writing scathing reviews is always more fun than w...writing scathing reviews is always more fun than writing positive ones. they make sitting through bad movies worth it.Listmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503400201264578579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351054.post-38045879632462825102010-02-19T13:00:23.779-05:002010-02-19T13:00:23.779-05:00these are the quality reviews that keep me coming ...these are the quality reviews that keep me coming back.lachimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11095108357100539663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351054.post-43086166515328225612010-02-19T12:58:25.260-05:002010-02-19T12:58:25.260-05:00The narrator drove me crazy.
