Please. You say a whole lot didn't work and the script was a mess but "at the same time, I didn't hate it". How is that not saying something more about you than the movie itself?

And one of the reasons I called it a hipster's Superbad was EXACTLY because I knew people would be citing stuff like the shots of New York (or the final "I Love New York!) for why the movie wasn't bad. The movie might have been a well shot mess but it was still a mess.

I wanted to like the movie but it was boring and utterly unrealistic in terms of character, relationship, etc. I didn't think the performance pieces were funny and the cameos were both jarring and mosty unfunny.

I do think you hit the nail on the head with uninspired. I don't think this movie was average, I think it aimed at being average... and missed.
