Entertainment Weekly Gregory Kirschling

The story -- is slight, but an appealing cast and lots of scenic leafery make Green feel fresh.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Jennie Punter

Everything's Gone Green is the second feature directed by Paul Fox (The Dark Hours), who maintains an energetic, lighthearted tone throughout the film, even when the story loses focus at its not-quite-satisfying ending.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker

It's more clever than smart, but Paul Fox directs with the same easygoing attitude of its slacker hero and finds some modest truths (also lower case) behind the props.

Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

A romantic comedy/social satire that, on a modest budget, manages to be hip, charming, funny and dressed to kill.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

Novelist Douglas Coupland (Generation X) brings his millennial irony and middle-class angst to the big screen with this offbeat Canadian comedy about the lure of easy money.

Variety Ken Eisner

Starring an excellent Paulo Costanzo (late of "Joey") as a twentysomething uberslacker who is nonetheless willing to fall into accidental success, pic is seasoned with fine perfs by JR Bourne as a charismatic, creepy hustler and Steph Song as Constanzo's sexy potential love interest.

Premiere Jessica Letkemann

Green, the first feature Coupland's written, doesn't really make any innovations to the Almost 30-Underachievers genre, but it's an endearing, solidly-crafted example.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust

The film's tone is on the sitcom side, but its likable cast and zany subplots make it palatable.

60

Village Voice Robert Wilonsky

It's not the big picture that charms here, it's the details. More than anything, though, it's Costanzo--a spindly Everydork who grows up not because he has to, but because he just kinda wants to.

Salon.com Andrew O'Hehir

Fundamentally, it's a well-executed formula movie, perfect for first-date couples or miscellaneous group outings.

50

Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern

This is Coupland's first screenplay, and it shows -- in a cheerfully discursive quality, but also in a reliance on gestures, contrivance and dialectic speeches rather than dramatic development and conflict.

50

Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman

On the plus side, Costanzo is an appealing and likable young actor who carries the film easily; he gives the impression that he is thinking deeply and mildly amused.

Boston Globe Ty Burr

It's a charming disappointment that retains the elements that make the writer's novels so good without ever bending them into cinematic shape.

Film Threat Pete Vonder Haar

It's a bit of a shaky first screenwriting effort for Coupland, but not without its charms.

50

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

The dialogue does have Coupland's characteristic snap, but like its mellow hero, the movie takes the easy route just a little too often.

Portland Oregonian Marc Mohan

A bloodless film that aims for wry but leaves you merely asking "why?"

38

New York Post Kyle Smith

Some ideas are auto-stolen (from Coupland's last novel, "JPod"), but those quirky atmospherics aren't enough to sustain a largely plotless film.

Ped X. gave it a9:
So many inside jokes about Vancouver that those familiar with Vancouver will love it, while those that don't know anything about Vancouver will wonder what the fuss is all about.

I laughed so hard, smart comedy.
