I love her expressive face. I think she is a good actress although she was terrible and flat in the star wars movies. This movie was good, there is no doubt. It is a bit high on the cliché scale though. When I heard someone tell me this speaks to a generation, I recoiled. Because this is a guy who has been numbed with psychotropics for years? Is that why? I know that in the past 15 years we have been numbing minds with antidepressants and ritalin, but other than that, this person's standing on the edge of the abyss of adulthood, dealing with his past, his friends who never grew up and a kooky free spirited love interest is not very original. The music, very cool, but I am sick to death already with the scoring of movies with pop songs to tell you what the script is lacking. Why not just have maroon 5 write your script and get it over with?? And the catch phrases...ugh. "Good luck exploring the infinite abyss" rain, scream, kiss, cut. And by golly we get our Hollywood ending too. If this is speaking to a generation, I am afraid it is saying something we have all heard before.
