Meh. I liked the ending, but didn't have all that much fun getting there. The story is fine, but nothing notable. It isn't funny (except for Michael Cera). The soundtrack is great, but completely wrong for the movie. A minor point of grievance that I can't keep to myself: I don't care how into retro stuff you are, if you weren't alive in the 80's, you don't know or care what a "Thunder Cat" is.
