Insanely underrated
Why do people hardly know this movie? I personally love it. I just rented it for the first time this weekend, and I thought it was outstanding.

Agreed! I put off watching it for years because of the lukewarm reviews but it's the best film Ellen Page has been in.

Critics actually loved this movie. It has a pretty high rating on RottenTomatoes.
shareThat's pretty sweet, I never knew that. I guess it was just my circle of friends who are down on it for not being Hard Candy or Inception.
Now, how good is Ghost Cat? The premise sounds utterly terrible but for some strange reason I think it might be good.

I liked Whip It but it’s not better than Juno
shareEllen is a dude now.
shareAgreed, this movie just made my whole week.
So great to see all those amazing actresses, Kristen Wigg, Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis, Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore together. And thanks to the excellent script (Shauna Cross) and directorial debut (Drew!), I didn't only see them having fun together, but I had fun with them.
Nice small role by Jimmy Fallon, btw.
