Garden State: I really liked Garden State. I'm a big fan.

Donnie Darko? I wasn't a huge fan but I thought the characters were solid, the acting was good, and part of me thought that maybe I just didn't get it. Then I watched the DVD commentary and realized that it's all a bunch of nonsense so I lost respect for it. Still, the high school stuff is good. It feels like a good teen movie hijacked by sci-fi mumbo jumbo.

Napoleon Dynamite? Never saw it.

Juno? I thought it was a good movie but it was an unrealistic teen movie, not because of the dialogue but because you never really saw her being a teen. It was like she lived in a vacuum with her parents, the adoptive parents, and Michael Cera. I don't really get upset by the dialogue. If I can enjoy a film that has Bruce Willis running around the wing of a fighter jet and launching cars into helicopters, I can deal with a too-witty-for-her-age kid. Still, I don't get why people went crazy about it. "Saved" is a much better movie IMO.
