I must start off by saying that this movie is not for everyone. It appealed to me, because of my geeky side. I grew up in the era of NES, Sega Genesis, and the first version of Game Boy; so the 8-bit style they referenced throughout really appealed to me. You can't take the movie serious: it's fun, silly, and at the same time full of kick butt action. Some may have a hard time believing Michael Cera's character can kick butt like that, but again; if you just go with it, the movie won't disappoint.
