I'm not to sure what they were getting at here. Was it two lost souls finding each other? Maybe two different people make nice? I know it had something to do with growing out of the past and moving on but that seems so minimal. Jeff Daniels plays a writer with a lot of strange problems. There more just strange habits then problems actually. He sees and has seen since he was a kid his imaginary friend Captain Excellent (Ryan Reynolds). Daniels meets Emma Stone's character who has a "chicken shit" boyfriend and mysterious Culkin brother following her around. The two form a bond of course. The movie has a bit of descent emotion but I want to cite out Emma Stone. All the performances were good, When isn't Jeff Daniels? However Emma Stone fit into her character so well that I think it's award worthy. The girl is going places and she has the talents and looks to do it. So seeing her do such a brilliant job with this movie makes it forgivable enough that I can watch it with a wary gaze.
6/10
Recommendation: Emma Stone fans should watch it, Great work from her.
Note: I'd have include a picture of Emma Stone, but since her and Reynolds don't occupy the same screen time, had to post his outrageous look instead.
