- Well, Michael Cera is on a roll: Juno, Superbad and now this, another great movie! Realistic and interesting characters, funny and witty dialogue, a great soundtrack and great performances by all.
- A funny, somewhat unique take on the ‘teenage movie’. The structure is standard but it’s the characters that make it different — they feel real and not your Hollywood cliche’ed teenager.
- Kat Dennings is great and one to look out for. Michael Cera is fantastic as usual and Ari Graynor as the drunk comic relief was just right too.
- All the locations were real and they looked it. The bands playing and the crowds in the clubs were all authentic and true to the New York night scene.
- Recommended!

- Pretty dull, not much plot at all and very little happens that is interesting. It’s as if they made a movie for the sake of making a movie. You really should have a good story and script first.
- Michelle Williams does a good job with what she has to work with but except for a couple of scenes, she really doesn’t have much to do.
- If it wasn’t for the dog, I don’t think we would have made it through the entire film.
- We liked the character of the security guard and thought he was under-utilized.
- Many scenes looked as though they were going to move the plot forward and ultimately went nowhere.
- We also felt it wasn’t very well shot / directed.
Is There Anybody There?
Paul:JP:
- Michael Caine! What more do you need?
- 3 for 3 for John Crowley (Intermission, Boy A, Is There Anybody There?). Another winner!
- A funny, interesting and moving film with an awesome performance by Caine and newcomer Bill Milner (Son of Rambow)… it’s always impressive when a child actor is really good and he was!
