Average actors, superb cutting + effects. Result: Good enough

Rating: 7/10 (23 October 2010)

This movie is like a computer game with slightly better than average humor and a bunch of almost proficient actors in it. The music, the cutting, and the effects not only saves the movie, but turn it into something worth watching.
The kids will love the kid themes (like being totally surprised of what's going on in other people's minds) and the adults will love the retro computer game style. The rock fans will love the music, which is apparently Beck ripping off The Pixies (with a twist of emo).
The humour is mild. I laughed twice and smiled at half of the rest. I considered leaving the theater several times during the first half hour. Then, however, it finally caught fire.
Must say though: I seriously don't hope they turn Mr. main actor Michael Cera into the next Shia LeBeouf. Because with Cera's squeamish non-male acting I predict he will ruin good movies for the next decade, all in the name of Hollywood dollaaaarrrrsss.
