Don't be fooled by the stellar reviews

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2007)

This movie is decent, but it does not even come close to being the best movie of 2007.
The dialogue is stilted with Cody, the writer, attempting to resurrect bad 70s, 80s, and 90s lingo and even create some new bad lingo. There were a few chuckles, but no one in my theater (which was packed) rolled in the aisles. The only laughter was small, nervous, and slightly forced.
I've heard people rave about the soundtrack, which I personally found annoying. The music dragged me out the action of the movie instead of complimenting the movie.
The acting was fine, and I think that Ellen Page has a great future in movies. In fact, it's her acting along with the fine ensemble which makes the film decent. With a better soundtrack and less gimmicky, unfunny one-lines, this movie could have been more.
Sadly, my biggest complaint is that it glamorizes teen pregnancy, even making it seem cool. Even if this movie had been hilarious, I would still have that complaint. Teen pregnancy should never be cool or cutesy, even if you pack it into an edgy, oddball comedy.
