I saw the previews..wanted to see it...saw it...was glad that I did. This movie was definitely worth the watch. It really is a movie that's like real life, so I think that people can easily relate to it. It's no Shawshank Redemption or anything like that, but it's definitely worth checking out. And I really think that Ed Helms did a great job. He won't win an award off of it I don't imagine, but it was enjoyable and impressive to see him play this part. Again, it's not a mind-blowingly good movie, nor did Ed pull off a Philip Seymour Hoffman in MI3 kind of performance, but it's worth checking out if you've been wanting to see it. And the ending is pretty cool :)

The movie is probably great, but youtubes bandwidth is so pathetic that it plays for just a minute, then stops, then starts, then.... I don't want to watch a movie on f-ing youtube. You're going to charge me money for that? You need a freaking dedicated service with its own player so that the experience is good. I will probably never rent from Google Play again. Amazons video on demand performance is MUCH better.

The only reason I even heard about this movie was because I am a fan of Jason Segel films. He's a smart actor who chooses scripts wisely (or even writes them himself) and I have yet to see a film that he's in that disappoints me. This film feels a lot like an independent film when it comes to the production quality, but that doesn't mean that the story or execution is any less powerful than a Hollywood blockbuster.
