An average movie

Like everyone else, I enjoyed 'Superbad' and I was curious to see what Greg Mottola would do next. Well, this time around, ย he came up with a rather sensitive comedy which was not so over the top like his previous directing effort. Evetually, I did enjoy how rather subtle the whole thing was, they also managed to give a good feeling of this time period and it was just plain and simply a good story. However, even if it was rather enjoyable, to be honest, I was still not really convinced by the whole thing. The first issue I had was that Jesse Eisenberg was rather miscast. Indeed, the guy looked way too dorky to be able to get a girl like Kristen Stewart. Or then they should have cast a more plain looking girl than Kristen Stewart. Anyway, in my opinion, there was not much chemistry between them. And it was the same thing concerning the relationship between Kristen Stewart and Ryan Reynolds, there was just no chemistry between them either. Furthermore, I must say that it was interesting to see Ryan Reynolds playing a jerk for a change but his character was unfortunately just way too stereotypical. Anyway, in spite of these flaws, I have to admit that it was still rather entertaining and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.ย
