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.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

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

New York Daily News by 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.

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.

Wall Street Journal by 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.

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.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Crust
The film's tone is on the sitcom side, but its likable cast and zany subplots make it palatable.

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

Film Threat by Pete Vonder Haar
It's a bit of a shaky first screenwriting effort for Coupland, but not without its charms.
