Not as good as it could have been, despite two talented leads.

Rating: 6/10 (9 October 2009)

The movie was good, yet not great. The characters and script were pretty decent, but it felt incomplete somehow. My biggest complaint would be all the indie music. I personally find the whole "indie" music scene to be a bunch of kids who look down on anyone who listens to any album that's gone gold, or anything that plays on mainstream radio stations.
I didn't know any of the music they were talking about, for the most part. I assume most of the bands they saw were made up/fictionalized for plot's sake, but it would have been better (for me) if what connected the main characters was something I could relate to.
But I've come to accept that I'm one of very few people with a dislike for the indie scene, so this movie is probably something most others would enjoy, especially those into the music scene that annoys me.
The one spoiler I have, and the most disgusting scene, is the one where the girl's friend fishes gum out of a toilet. Should not have been in the movie.
