Your opinion on the film?


I think it was a good script. I think that the directing and cinematography is where it falls short as both were handled blandly imo. Not sure who should have been handed the script though. Who do you think could have done better?

hahahahahaha72,

"I liked it, I think it did exactly what it said out to do Although I thought it'd have more action. I found it surprisingly romantic and in a way that wasn't mushy. It was kinda deep and pretty real with the silliness of love which surprised the hell out of me."

i agree 100%. i liked the movie a lot. i think Jesse & Kristen did a great job!

Agreed, they marketed it as a funny looking stoner movie but it was no where near it. It wasn't even funny =/

the commercial was better than the movie. It contained the only good parts without wasting two hours of someone's life

it blew major chucks. Not only should the producers offer refunds but they should offer personally signed "I'm Sorry" cards to anyone who saw this tripe. Muddled script, bad casting and could someone, ANYONE please pass a law forbidding Kristen Stewart from ever being in a film again? Please?

Enjoyed it but wanted more fighting. Hopefully the sequel has more.

actually the whole movie holds on to both actors. jesse eisenberg and kristen stewart made this *beep* b-movie into a bonnie and clyde / chuck / natural born killers mixture. better than expected.
kristens acting was pretty cool and on point in this flick, also jesse started slowly but when it comes to action he is so natural and real.

negatives are the trashy scenery, story, the rest of the cast was bad, even their acting, except Tony Hale, known from the tv series chuck, played his role very nice, and Connie Britton in a decent average performance.
cinematography was ok, when the story moved into the supermarked it was interesting to watch. and so was the movie. suspense from beginning to end, kept me watching this 6.3 yet rated movie.
not that bad, I g ive it a 6 of course cause it was a good average movie with some bad parts but it wasnt boring. it took me some efford to watch it.
even the soundtrack is great.

Great concept, but poor execution. Script and tone was all over the place and never found ground or even pacing. It certainly has an audience as a cult classic, but I didn't care for it.

5/10

Worthless, tonally inconsistent piece of garbage.

^ what he said

Very much agree here. Didn't know whether it was trying to be a comedy or some kind of badly cast action film. Just didn't work.
