Pointless Drivel

Rating: 1/10 (24 September 2008)

I wanted to like this film but honestly it kept on trying to have this forced young feel that I hate so many movies are trying to live up to. Whenever I see movies like this I know it's made from some person in their late 30's or 40's trying to connect with today's youth and it sad and pointless drivel. The acting feels pretty phoned in. I like Michael Cera a good bit, but the actress playing Norah I just couldn't like. She's been in other movies I hate as well so maybe that animosity is just carrying over. The so called humor falls flat and feels very forced. Again it feels like the producers are screaming "HEY KIDS IPODS indie rock, youth of America love this!!!". Most of all why I think I don't like this film is it's a studio trying to do a Juno type film. I don't mean the story as this story is a soul-less studio abortion, but the dialog tries to be trendy and of course they play all the trendy indie bands, kids relate to so well. To sum up simply don't ever watch this.
