I absolutely hated this movie. Everything was so calculate and obvious that I couldn’t comprehend how someone would be stupid enough to fall for it. I mean, WE GET IT, he’s “deep” he listens to the Velvet Underground and her carefully-selected wall posters and T-shirts make her soo cool. This is obviously supposed to appeal to the sort of people that the character represents: shallow, “artistic” people who love the idea of art but don’t really know what it is. And don’t even get me started on the “acting” (it’s not acting when the characters are playing themselves) or anything else because I could write a comment longer than your article.

You obviously did not connect with the characters and that is why the movie failed for you. The comedy, sets/art direction, and soundtrack all hopefully support the storytelling. You found the story mundane and uninteresting. For me, this movie was very good. I connected and cared for the characters and I found the comedy refreshingly restrained and close to reality which made it even funnier. I feel that the “over the top” comedies like There’s Something About Mary, American Pie, Dodgeball, and Wedding Crashers are getting a bit stale.
