Just saw this. Awesome film. I would have overlooked it since it's a teeny PG13 but it's up for the Indie Spirits. This film is a great example of every character being deep. Some of them have only a few scenes, like the father and mother, but they really bring them out. The plot is cool too. Ellen Page is great. But I think the real genius is Diablo Cody's script. She has the greatest witty dialog.
The great thing about her is how she can hit gen x, still be relevant to other markets, and do a quality job of it without the typical gen x trashy gratuitous action, sex, and farcical comedy.
