75
Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
The story -- is slight, but an appealing cast and lots of scenic leafery make Green feel fresh.
75
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.
75
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.
75
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A romantic comedy/social satire that, on a modest budget, manages to be hip, charming, funny and dressed to kill.
70
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.
70
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.
63
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.
60
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.
60
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.
50
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.
50
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.
42
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.
 The average user rating for this movie is 7.0 (out of 10) based on 5 User Votes
