Sonic Youth has always been the #1 "Hey, I know stuff about real music" name drop.

If Ellen Page is a terrible actress then your list of competent must be fairly short.
I thought the movie was pretty funny, especially when the step mom chick beasts the hell out of the ultrasound technician. 1/2/2008 11:49:51 AM |

- This movie was pretty good when they weren't trying to shove a smart ass quip into every fucking line of dialogue (maybe 15 minutes). It would seem less phony if they gave characters normal dialogue every now and then. - The soundtrack by itself was good, but the way they used music in this movie was pretty obnoxious. - Ellen Page performed the 4th or 5th best acting job in this movie. - More Michael Cera, please. - Name dropping a bunch of bands isn't cool. It's just as bad as product placement in a Michael Bay movie. 1/3/2008 12:29:52 AM |

the name-dropping of bands didn't bother me at all. I mean, asking someone their favorite bands is a fairly normal aspect of human interaction. Would've you rather she listed off ficticious bands instead of actual bands?
also, what other movies have mentioned Sonic Youth? I know they did a cover of I'm Not There for the Dylan movie... but what else have they been mentioned in? 1/6/2008 11:20:25 AM |

i personally liked the movie. the band name dropping didn't annoy me that much. her dialogue was a bit much at times (ie the morgan freeman line...that was just stupid). i kinda felt the comedy was similar to little miss sunshine. not a whole lot was REAL funny, but acting made it funny.
i agree, more michael cera was needed. 1/7/2008 1:26:11 PM |

i liked it. the band name dropping didn't bother me either.
i thought it was pretty hilarious how little people cared about the controversial topics. parents didn't seem to mind too much that she was pregnant, gardner didn't seem too upset at jason bateman. but it helped the tone of the movie not be too melodramatic. nice 1/7/2008 2:40:24 PM |

the message of having sex because you're "bored" or whatever she said without any kind of protection and not having to suffer any of the consequences of a very poor decision if you just give the baby away and never see it again1/13/2008 4:37:03 PM |

I liked it, but mostly the second half.
In the beginning, I found it somewhat jarring how they swicthed so quickly between serious and being over-the-top/campy with some of the dialog.
Either it toned down towards the end, or I got use to it, but it was overall a pretty good movie.

What wrong messages?
Also, WRT the Sonic Youth thing. I don't think they were "name" dropping. It seemed to me they were mocking the guy for liking Sonic Youth so much, in a way mocking Sonic Youth.
