Thank God for the ability to leave

OK, I have no idea why so many people believe this movie to be so great, entertaining, or even relevant. I found it to be a bore, the acting to be so subtle that you really feel drained by the slow, drawn out vocabulary most people seem to speak. I will admit, I have never cared for movies like this but took the reviews to mean this movie was something special and considering it stars the kid from "Superbad" I was hoping ti would be funny but, sadly, it was only comedic in the same way that New York street mimes are. Think about it for a minute. I only gave it 3 stars because the female lead is sort of attractive though she is a self absorbed, mentally incapacitated, spoiled little brat with the vocabulary of Janeen Garofalo and the voice of Napolean Dynamite. I guess the entire thing can be summed up with the words "Who acts like that ?" I didn't make it through to the end, I had my fill and went on to better things but am hoping it ended with a joyous suicide or something. From the way the character acted and thought, it is very apparent that the character would end up dead one day anyways.
