This film had me laughing silly (at points) like no other has for some time. It is fresh, mostly unpretentious, and very 21st century, if that makes any sense. Its female leads are all right, but to me its success rests rather on its males: Michael Cera (Scott), Kieran Culkin (Wallace Wells) and Jason Schwartzman (Gideon Graves). Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Juno) is an ideal choice for the story, such as the film tells it (I don't know the original Brian Lee O'Malley's comic). Scott is for the most part a nerdy adolescent who can kick ass too, and in so doing, he prevails. The story pays unashamed tribute to the comic it is based on in the manner it is told. However, the characters are not without their complexity, with these young people displaying a mixture of unprejudiced wisdom and childish foolishness which I found charming.
