Review of Everything's Gone Green (2006) by Brent W — 08 Aug 2007

Canadian and adolescent in the worst of ways,the film is convinced it is much, much smarter and cooler than it is. The result is an embarrassing clarissa-explains-it-all approach to dialogue whereby characters say rather than feel their "deepest" emotions in fumbled bursts of pseudo-philosophical meta exchanges, not speakign to each other but instead opining in wooden monologues their twenty-something angst in clumsy, eye-roll inducing rants while the other actor waits their turn.

A mediocre rehash of Garden State with none of the charm or self-awareness, the script would perhaps have made a better novel, where its episodic structure and lengthy timeline would be less jarring, and its meandering "story" more forgiveable.
