It's a supremely entertaining movie. Personally, I found the soundtrack a wee bit saccharine and distracting, but I had been warned ahead of time that it was, and this no doubt colored my opinion.
Otherwise, it was charming, adorable and quirky in all the best ways. Statutory scene was slightly creepy, but forgivable and probably necessary. The characters were occasionally unrealistic and stereotyped, yes, but they were entertaining stereotypes.
Perfectly indie. I highly recommend it.

I actually know quite a few people like that, which is one of the reasons I loved this movie. That and the Sonic Youth joke, which I don't think will endear me to hipster girls, but whatever.
I'm surprised that people keep attaching such a "hipster" label to this film, because in comparison to other films it's not. I mean sure, it's got non-mainstay names in it and semi-obscure musical references (I wonder what Buzz thinks?) but the lack of near-blatant "throwback to the 70's" nonsense that makes me wanna swallow drain cleaner definitely makes it stand apart, methinks. Also, the fact that they actually used the word ABORTION was a plus.

SevenPinkerton:
what would they use instead of abortion? If there's some sort of slang term, I don't know it but I suddenly want too..
costacide:
"Schmaschmortion", like in Knocked Up. Which was a funny movie, but still, it is kinda rare. At least in a non-politicized heavy-handed manner that would make even a flag-burner like me roll my eyes, give up, and vote for Jesus.
