I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

'If you want to see n 80's movie through the eyes of a 2000 something this movie is for you! For the rest of us that lived through the 80's you should watch something with a mullet, dogtags, and playing vball while looking for treasures with an asian friend looking for treasure. Way more heart in that storyline than this big pile of a movie.

Alright, so going into this film, didn't know what to expect. Cast besides Topher Grace I didn't know and the story while it seemed done to death could be done well. So I put the movie in and began to watch it. What a terrible film, just awful. Now, I can't talk about the movie without spoilers, so if you're interested in seeing this movie, I'd advise against it, but only for the curious and willing.*******SPOILER ALERT********************************************Okay, lets get down to what's wrong with the film in several aspects.1. Cast/Characters: So when the film starts, we meet our protagonist Matt(Topher Grace) working at a video store in a mall. He's gone to school, but doesn't know what to do with his life. One day he sees the girl that he had a crush on in high school and the film is him lying to get with her. Already, I hate his character. Not because of where he is, but how he plans on getting to his goals. Lying about yourself to impress someone is SO done to death and this film doesn't provide anything new to add. But what about the other charters? Well, the other characters of the film are (sigh), Chris Pratt who is the boyfriend of Matt's sister. He's the usual self centered ass who wants things his way and take advantage of others. He's possibly worse than Grace because of this. Then there's Matt's friend, Barry, who also is also despicable for different reasons. Early in the film, he breaks into his old job and steals a car for Matt or revenge, either could have been the case. He's that awkward friend who gets him self into bad situations. Matt's sister wants to go to school in England and is smothered by Chris Pratt's character. She just provides a voice of reason. But wait you may say, what about Matt's love interest? She just exists in the movie, nothing more. She's a way for the plot to continue until the end. 2. Story: Movies can suffer from many reasons. The biggest one is the story. This particular story is the major problem in the movie. The problems for this story is partially from how the charters are written. Some are that idiot friend or love interest. But there's also situations and how the story flows. One thing that i'd give the movie some credit for is when Matt is facing being found out at a party later on with his love interest. He gets himself out of it with his math skills, something that the film established early on. Besides that scene, its all down hill. Just the love interest finding out that he's not who he says he is, Matt's sister finding the courage to stand up to Chris Pratt and what you'd expect from this kinda film. A point that isn't finalized is what Matt will do with his life. Its mentioned to him throughout the film, but they don't feel like finishing that off.WHAT THEY COULD HAVE DONE BETTER So, what could have been done to make this miserable film better? A few things could have made this film watchable all involve characters. If you finalized Matt's journey by going to an interview at Goldman Sachs to show him moving on with his life, that would be good. Even if you had his friend going to college, that would had been something to end on.

Very enjoyable movie full of great 80's concepts and growing up in the 80's.The soundtrack is top notch and excellent and so is the casting.Matt is a grad of MIT, but is lost in his career and work's in a Suncost video store...which was a staple of 80's malls.He is lost but one night, his high school crush returns home after college and he goes for it.Can Matt win Tori Federkin...and do women go for smart guys who work at Suncost? This movie is a very nice well written, fun, and inspiring and a great take on the 80's.The music is outstanding as is the acting.10 out of 10.....those of 80's and early 90's boomers will enjoy the ride.

Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) was a high school nerd who went to MIT and return home to work at the mall. High school hottie Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer) walks into his store, and he invents a job at Goldman Sachs. His best friend Barry (Dan Fogler) is a car salesman but gets fired after 7 years in his hated job. His twin Wendy (Anna Faris) is considering going to Cambridge for her masters. She's just not sure that her boyfriend Kyle (Chris Pratt) will come with her. Then all the high school people reunites at Kyle's big party.It's a little sad that Matt is working at the mall, but the saddest thing is the ridiculous lie. It's sad because it was never going to work. She works at investment banking so he just repeats the same thing. It is so embarrassingly stupid that the movie never fully recovers. He went to MIT so he could have said he worked at IBM or something like that. This is 80s nostalgia looking for more appealing characters.
