Just got around to watching it for the first time tonight. We had so many people tell us we'd love it and need to watch it, so it was high on our list. Great cast, and it won so many awards.

I didn't hate it, but I was left scratching my head over all the hype. I like odd movies and books, so it's not that I couldn't handle the weirdness. It seemed like in the same vein as Scott Pilgrim, and if you told me it wasn't a bit box office but got a cult following, I'd totally believe that.

My wife felt exactly the same way. Maybe it's just one of those cases where there was too much hype for us, but I felt kind of let down.

No, it seems a lot of people just didn’t click with it for some reason. There are always a few people here or on reddit saying they hated it, and it seems like it’s more than the average movie.

I personally loved it, so I have a hard time seeing what people disliked about it.

I loved it too. The only thing I could think of is, it has a veneer of goofiness that people might find strange or obnoxious.

But it's one of those few films that I feel like a sociopath wouldn't enjoy at all due to how emotionally charged it is lol (for legal reasons that's a joke)
