It's really good. <br /><br />P.S. I'd like to start a Oscar campaign for Baby Swanberg as Best Supporting Actor.Adam Riskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165600746796326821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-77114982428121773002014-07-02T09:55:22.497-05:002014-07-02T09:55:22.497-05:00I liked the movie (and Adam's review!), but I ...I liked the movie (and Adam's review!), but I thought it really exposed Anna Kendrick's limitations as an actress. It's not that she's "bad" in the movie; it's that all of her worst tendencies are brought to the forefront. I wonder if it's because Swanberg encourages improvisation in his movies and Kendrick just isn't as...good at it. But the movie is worth seeing! It's very pleasant.Patrick Bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771837625286775607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-67300787250394938072014-07-02T09:52:28.812-05:002014-07-02T09:52:28.812-05:00Haha - I just started fooling around with a planne...Haha - I just started fooling around with a planned series of books (lol) about a biblical war on earth thinking the exact same thing - Christians would eat this shit up! A writing exercise if nothing else I guess!<br /><br />This sounds great - I like Joe Swanberg in everything I see him in but I don't think I've actually watched one of HIS movies. Will definitely try to watch this and <i>Drinking Buddies</i> soon.<br /><br />Man, I must be the only guy here who Anna Kendrick does absolutely nothing for - she's a fine actress and everything but I'm just not attracted in the least. I'm sure she'd be heartbroken to find that out.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114869401584310369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-27615021973292552592014-07-02T08:30:30.261-05:002014-07-02T08:30:30.261-05:00I'm on the other end, John - I will see anythi...I'm on the other end, John - I will see anything the beautiful Melanie Lynskey is in!

Plus, while I do want to see something with minimal conflict, you could have asked "do you want to see a movie with Anna Kendrick?" and the answer would have been a resounding yes as well. A while back you did a piece on SKOWs, and I totally blanked on on Anna Kendrick at the time, but she's most definitely one of mine. I will see every damn thing that beautiful woman makes.John Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810774557887719483noreply@blogger.com
