YesNoSoso: 0
Horrible, just horrible. The only saving grace was that the movie is essentially a Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle set during a night out in NYC. The visiting of so many familiar and famous NYC spots was pretty cool and Michael Cera gives a great performance, but its really hard to buy him as the object of someone's unbridled lust. All the other characters in the movie act completely illogically. The character that Kat Dennings plays is really embarrassed that her father is a very famous producer and yet completely without provocation brings her new love interest, Michael Cera, to her father's studio. Michael Cera's extremely shallow ex is a fellow classmate of Kat's character and is constantly ragging on her for the benefits she enjoys due to having a famous father, such as skipping every velvet roped off line. Wouldn't someone who can get you into any exclusive club in the city be someone a shallow person would make nice with? The movie is rife with actions by its characters that make little to no sense and there are really no other redeeming qualities. Plus Jay Baruchel is completely unbelievable as a tough guy.
