Paula D Sep 25 I thought this was endearing. Genuine. Loved the quirky characters and each coming to terms with traumas and disappointment.

And unfortunately it really only gets more weird and cringy as the movie goes along. A fact that has nothing to do with Emma Stone and Jeff Daniels, who are actually really good, but the entire story and concept is just so strange. It’s basically a romance between Stone, who plays a high school kid and Daniels who is very much 50 years old. As a huge fan of Emma in particular, I was sitting there wanting to enjoy the nuance of her performance because as far as I can tell this is the first time she really gets to show off her dramatic ability and she is really really good, but I just get caught up in the fact that it’s a fkin romance between a teenager and an old man, which for some reason also has Ryan Reynolds playing a superhero in his mind. And honestly I was waiting for the story to come around and not actually be a romance between them but it just kept pushing along and not realizing there was anything wrong with it. It could have been a really good movie if they just had her be like 20 instead of 16, and executed the superhero thing better. It’s at times a really touching heartbreaking story that gets completely unraveled by this very strange romance and Reynolds character, who looks absolutely ridiculous btw, pop in unevenly throughout. If they would have had him in an actual superhero costume and take it a little seriously, it might have worked but he’s wearing like a cheap Halloween Superman costume with bad hair dye and eyeliner, and does nothing to actually advance the story. Ultimately I think this is a decent snapshot of where quirky indie cinema was in the late 2000s with an interesting cast who are now enjoying big success in Reynolds, Stone, and Culkin. But I just couldn’t get past the weirdness of the relationship between the main two characters. See more Read all reviews
