This film is bad, Green Lantern is a great superhero movie compared to this. It's just crazy how far Gardians of the Galaxy's rating is off what it should be. This film has zero depth, like intentionally, they dumbed it down on purpose. The sense of humor is corny as hell. The characters behavior was so dubious it was impossible for me to relate. The story was just weird and secondhand. I have no idea what is good in this film besides CGI. Maybe it's the fact that it's the "hero" movie where instead of some deep complex "perfect" character we have a bunch of misfits with plain problems and lots of flaws. Relatable, right? Other than that I don't have a clue.

OK, this film is terrible. There are just a few far-fetched reasons why someone would like it. It got an award at Venice International Film Festival (that must mean something, right? RIGHT?) It has a decent portrayal of the 80ies, so if you are feeling nostalgic, it might do the trick. And it has an unorthodox approach of not having a conventional story per se, but rather mixes up a bunch of different characters, tying them up a little as time goes on.

Other than that this film is a disaster. Most of the characters are terribly miscast. Most of the time they are walking around or talking with pretty much zero emotions. There is no character introduction or development whatsoever. Some scenes are so cheesy they are painful to look at (ie the scene of a bomb selling gone wrong).

Trying to figure out any sense in this mess is a lost cause, but I'm sure there are people who will find it anywhere given enough time and motivation. Don't listen to them.

I was really hesitating between 6 and 7, so 6,5 would be my rating. It is certainly cute, but a number of mistakes, inconsistencies and awkward, almost cringe-worthy moments kept me from enjoying the romance. I think they went too far trying to make the main characters relatable, it was too obvious. And the age disparity between the leads was a little bit too much. I also feel like the film had way too many messages, like "live in the now" thing. Those might be really helpful if you are young and inexperienced, but for a grown up it looked kind of corny, like a talk between dad and son so long overdue.

I find it really confusing this film has almost the same average rating as Love Actually (even currently higher by 0.1). I mean that movie is PERFECT. Really, I watched it a number of times and there is nothing I would change.
