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

    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.

    Fundamentally, it's a well-executed formula movie, perfect for first-date couples or miscellaneous group outings.
  4. 38
    Some ideas are auto-stolen (from Coupland's last novel, "JPod"), but those quirky atmospherics aren't enough to sustain a largely plotless film.

    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. Expand
