It was pretty awesome. Imagine a video game that is not based on a fantasy novel or an action movie
There are lots of video game references that may have had some subtler meaning, but made sense and were enjoyable on a surface level as well. And Michael Cera has managed to escape some of his typecasting trend of playing a shy, quiet, dork. I mean, not by much, but a little bit. He's still a nice guy who's a little down on his luck, but he manages to man up and fight for the girl. And *spoiler* finds a little self-respect along the way.
I think it might have helped a lot that I was in a room full of very excited people while watching it. They laughed at every punchline, applauded at every victory. They clearly wanted to be there, and (if their vocalizations were anything to go by) they enjoyed the heck out of it.
I don't know if you will like it, but I sure did.
*This is completely the truth and I am in no way exaggerating Martin's passionate desire to see the film Eat, Pray, Love.

I now wish to see this film. :D
I heard good things about this from someone else too. I will add it to my list...
:| You know how I feel about movies based on books based on blogs. Or movies that in my head are based on books that are based on blogs. I hate them. I mean, I really do. If someone made a movie based on your blog, I would not watch it. Even if I am one of the main characters!
I did like the Scott Pilgrim movie though. That was fun.
Ah, but would you read a book based on a movie based on a blog?
(So, what, you hated Julie and Julia? Huh.)
