I think I was interested to see this partly because I like John Krasinski as a comedian and I was wondering what he would do in a slightly more serious role (his performance in 'Leatherheads' was fine) and partly because I was interested to see a scruffy and small Sam Mendes movie.
It was ok and not great. Krasinski was good and funny and Maya Rudolph was good and ok. The writing was pretty miserable and the plot was a mess. In the end it was much more style than substance and sorta silly in its super moral conclusion. Mendes didn't seem to have a good grasp of the story and let it slip into cliche and triteness too much.
