Well, for a while I thought i was the only person on the planet who didn’t understand the whole Diablo Cody / Ellen Page thing. I mean, “Juno” was put together pretty well, but Ellen Page was playing herself, and the script was a mind-fuck of a mess. Then I saw this

In this dramedy, a professor becomes a bitter eccentric after the death of his longtime wife. After falling for a former student, he is then able to reconnect with the outside world. Sarah Jessica Parker, Dennis Quaid, Ellen Page, Thomas Haden Church and Rachel Weisz star.

Dennis Quaid plays the leading role (who actually looks quite good) BUT, Do I really have to sit through another movie and watch Ellen Page blurt out stupid one liners in her crass, I sound like Dharia that cartoon girl from MTV, voice?! We get it Ellen, your quirky. We get it Ellen, your a rebel. We get it Ellen, you like indie-rock.

Geez. Don’t even get me started on Thomas Hayden Church.

Completely amazing. Jennifer Garner should win an Oscar. No, a Nobel Peace Prize. She went to some deep deep places. I know Ellen Page is a better “For Your Consideration” story and she IS adorable in it….but let’s face it…she is a little too “Ellen Page” in it, but seriously Garner gave you MOMENTS in this film. If you haven’t already, see it.

The Soundtrack’s pretty excellent too…
