Directed By: Sarah Polley
Written By: Sarah Polley
Starring: Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman
Synopsis:
The grass is always greener, but is it really? Maybe if you put some kind of crazy ass fertilizer on it?
Musings:
I really wanted to like this movie. In theory, I think that Sarah Polley is cool, she drinks at Crooked Star and all that good stuff, but let’s face it, in reality, she’s a suck ass writer/director. Ya ya ya, she is Canada’s little sweetheart from Road to Avonlea but I can’t give her a pass. I don’t want to be a hater but I have no choice.
Somehow she landed 3 very talented people, but didn’t manage to utilize them at all. Michelle Williams was endearing as she always is, but that has nothing to do with the movie and more to do with her hipster wardrobe. Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman were caged comedians that weren’t allowed to come out and play. I’m not sure what the atmosphere was like on set, but it seemed like nobody had any fun making this movie.
If you’re going to make a movie where the city is such a central focus (like Toronto was in this movie), then make the travel in the city realistic. Nothing annoyed me more than the incongruence in travel from point A to point B, where the hell is the Toronto continuity?
Also, using the title of a Leonard Cohen song doesn’t automatically make your movie cool.
Problem: Lame discussion on how fickle relationships are
Mood for watching: Frustrated
What to eat and drink: Tacos El Asador and an espressado
If I made it: Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman would have 8 min to rip on each other
Why watch: For an extremely saturated Toronto look

one of the finer reviews yet, thank you (what the hell was that nytimes review spouting off about?).
Love your reviews! Hilarious and thorough as always 🙂
Thanks for reading and I’m glad you like them.
This poop made my skin crawl and I felt embarrassed the entire time I watched, which was all of twenty minutes; after which I immediately googled “Sara Polley sucks” to find brethren.
