Yeah I was surprised by this in a pleasant way. Was expecting more laughs and was a little disappointed not to get any, this has like serious relationship business going on but for what it is, its pretty good.

i didnt think it was all that good. it reminded me of juno, in that if i was 10 years younger i might have liked it.

 

the relationship wasnt believeable.

 

the funny parts were funny but it wasnt a comedy so there werent enough.

 

the friendship aspect of the film was good but not explored enough because WE MUST HAVE LOVE STORY.

but they werent teens. early 20's.

 

 

i thought it missed the mark on lots of levels.

 

i remember the 80s. it felt more like a smalltown stuck in the past a little rather than the actual 80s.

 

i think my major problem was that i watched dazed and confused the night before and its unfair to compare really.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BONER!

 

 

they even missed a great visual gag there too.

surprisingly good movie. i went to see this with a girl having never seen a preview thinking it was a judd apatow style comedy, but yeah, it's a date movie, basically. i liked that they focused on post grad kids rather than teenagers. and it had a nice toned down humor to it. i like it.

 

and i don't see how this was anything like juno. it seemed very genuine, whereas that movie was tedious garbage.

Juno was in your face...

perfect date movie...

So I finally watched this and was pretty impressed by it.

I thought it was a totally believable story. that's how university students act.

Plus the soundtrack was great...

 

and benedict cumberbatch...i remember the 80's too, and that's exactly what they were like in an industrial city (pittsburgh being famous for....)

 

Crappy amusement parks, crappy discos and getting drunk. Although I was only 14 in 88, so who knows about the discos.

Shout outs to the saracens, musulmen and celestials.
