The first, and pretty much only thing wrong about this film is how it has being categorised. It should be classified as a drama, romance, Indie if you want to wrap the description up. Its has a quirky dialogue and unrestricted editing, and non-stop camera movement. Its pretty much what you would call a "Garden State" type of film.
The actors and poor marketing have given its audience the wrong impression. It is by no means the actors (Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly) fault for this misconception. They portrayed their characters to as real as real can be, the directing was adequate at best. Some of the most important conversations are distorted into a psychedelic wave of editing, out-of-synch dialogue and flash imagery, was lost on me at points. But this is a dramatic characterisation, a psychological look at the stranger end of relationships: Family; romantic; and platonic.
Now its not fantastic, or the breakthrough film of this year, But at least give it a watch and see for yourself.
