The direction is competent. The acting is all right. (I give Michael Cera and Jason Bateman a pass for “Arrested Development.”)

But ultimately, it comes right down to the script. The Oscar-winning script. Ladies and gentlemen, we gave an Oscar to “Honest to blog?”. We gave an Oscar to the most disgusting dialogues about film and music; to a plot that had a tenuous connection to reality; to a pile of quirkiness haphazardly assembled into a movie. I cannot think of another film in recent memory that angered me with every totally hip line falling out of the actors’ mouths.

It might just be personal preference, but God, what an awful movie. And for some reason, Diablo Cody was the one who received the most praise. Christ.
