I’ve seen better, I’ve seen worst. A big Michael Cera fan I am not. He is okay as a sideline character but I don’t see him capable of carrying a film on his shoulders as a lead. And despite some fine performances, quite a few funny moments and engaging situations, this film does not rise to the occasion. If you go with very few expectations, as I did, you will not suffer.
