What I liked:

• Ben Gibbard (from Death Cab for Cutie) had two new songs in it.
• I liked Greta Gerwig in this movie.  (I was not a fan of her in Greenberg.)
• Russell Brand plays a good man child.
• Dermot Mulroney is on the soundtrack?!

What I didn't like:

• It wasn't bad but it wasn't good.  The audience wasn't laughing much.  The entire thing just fell flat.
• Brand can get annoying and it was hard to form any sympathy for his character.
• Helen Mirren was not in it as much as I had hoped and she didn't have any spunk. 
• Jennifer Garner was just ok.  She could have really vamped it up but failed to do so.  She had more pizazz in her 2 minute confrontation scene in Valentine's Day than she had in this entire movie.
