Wait for this on video or go see it with a "free movie" pass. It's a decent movie but not worth full price or matinee.
There are laugh out loud funny parts to it but overall, the humor in it is more ironic than actual "ha-ha" funny. If you like movies similar in style to those done by Wes Anderson, then you'll probably enjoy this movie.
The acting is superb. Each character evolves throughout the movie in a way that makes sense and isn't a movie contrivance.
The theme of the movie is a good one as well. Be yourself, don't live your life on other's people's terms.
