A good film with a great message about social disconnect. Enjoyed the concept and overall story very much. The idea of living actual life like a virtual world fascinated me and the implications were amusing. But the overall plot lacked depth, not giving me a reason to care. The ending was good, but at 85 mins I bet a director's cut DVD will be much better than what I just saw. Someday I hope Mostow gets final cut, because he's better than this.

While incredibly witty and clever, it's more of an interesting observation than a comedy. It's like most romantic comedies only with brutal honesty, but it becomes hard to laugh at the truth behind people's actions and sometimes hits too close to home to be entertaining.

The movie laughs at us rather than letting us laugh at it. With that said, I love all the actors and cameos in it so I enjoyed it. This movie may be studied in anthropology and psychology classes for decades, or end up in the 5 dollar bin at Wal-Mart, either way you may not like it yourself.
