more than mediocre, but ...

While aimed squarely at my demographic - the 40-ish crowd that graduated in '87 - the movie tries just a little too hard to tug at the nostalgic heartstrings. The sentimentality comes off forced, if not a little artificial.
Overall, not bad. Not great either. I think this movie missed it's potential.
I just kept wondering if Jesse Eisenberg hates Michael Cera, or vice versa. It's like the male version of Helen Hunt/ Leelee Sobieski.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Yes. This is the best movie of the year.
Yes. It's everything you hoped and dreamed it would be.
Yes. You have to go see it.
Up til this point, my favorite 'genre' movie was Spiderman II, but TDK blows that one out of the water, and then some.
All the performances we spot-on. I first thought that all the acclaim for Ledger's Joker was because everyone was jumping on the posthumous bandwagon.
I was wrong. Ledger's Joker is fantastic, creepy, evil and mesmerizing.
I'm not one for repeat theater visits of the same movie, at least not since the summer of '77 when I spent 3 months watching Star Wars. I was 8, sue me; however, this is one I'll be back for.
Again and again."
Yes, I recommend this movie.
