It's ok. There are some funny moments, but the director made a good attempt to point out the seriousness of the subject matter as well. It's worth a rental.

its not great, but there's nothing wrong with it... its really entertaining throughout, and interesting at the same time... afterwards you kinda wish you were a bullshit artist

I think it's a great movie, and funnier than I expected, too. I recently read the book that it's based on, which is also extremely funny throughout. I'm looking forward to the new movie that the director, Jason Reitman, has coming out this year, Juno.

Very enjoyable movie, I need to see it again.
Aren't Jan and Packer from the Office in this as well?
Also, Juno looks pretty awesome. It's a limited release so I'm not holding my breath for it to come here, but I'll definitely check it out at some point.

good movie, but I don't think I was ready to see Joey Potter in a sex scene like that.

I think you'd like it frank.
The movie I mean, the sex scene was nothing memorable..in fact I don't really remember it at all if that tells you anything.

Watch it, then watch the presidential debate on Thursday night. Afterwards, you will see the brilliance of the acting and writing in this film.

I just saw this a couple weeks ago myself, after having the Netflix rental sitting here for a couple months. Wish I hadn't taken so long to view it. Was highly pleased.

Believe me, the ending of the book was a lot worse. I much preferred where Naylor ends up in the movie than in the book. Also, in the book, the son was a lot less important, which is an interesting change. The movie dealt with his relationship with his son and what his career is doing to him a lot, and in the book, really not at all.
And yes, the actors who play Jan and Packer on the Office both are in it.
