Entertaining for what it is.

I wish there were more movies like this.

Really cute college genius flick that has everything--lunacy, philosophizing, comics, publication, taking yourself too seriously, and taking yourself not seriously enough, not mention romance. A great, super witty screenplay and good acting are good ingredients for this independent college movie that shows the full range of college level types, not just the drunkards and stoners. It was delightfully refreshing.

a little slow, but still entertaining and a great story.

Patrick Fugit is so fuuny

Existentially playful.

Kinda odd but kinda interesting at the same time :)

I'm a fan of theoretical physicists, they're the rock stars of science, so i'm predisposed to enjoy any movie to about them. Here we have an "American Pie" take on the subject. While not as good as TV's Big Bang Theory it's a valiant effort at making us believe there's hope that a reclusive genius can get laid.

I liked this movie because I recognized a lot of the people in the movie and thought the premise was kind of interesting. I am pretty sure that I Wouldn't call this movie a comedy because there is really nothing funny about it.

This is an adorably, geeky love story. Fugit and Wilde were great together.

I was cruising Netflix and stopped to make fun of this movie's title. I said damn I bet it's a wanna be movie like Weird Science. But I was wrong! A case of never judge a book by it's - ummm title? Patrick Fugit is great again but why play another child genius?

The main character is played by Patrick Fugit and he does a decent job. He is a nerd that makes little things or comes up with cool ideas. He writes a book about changing the world, but cannot find the ending. His book is taken and turned into something big that makes everyone around him think including a girl he likes. The story was pretty interesting and I did enjoy it front start to find. But there were scenes thrown in that left the film boring at points. There is an ok cast for the film and I will say that Matthew Lillard was very horrible in the film. His character was very strange he could just not play him right. This is a light teen movie comedy, but at least it has a better story line than most teen comedies you see. Most rely on horrible scenes or nudity. This movie was about teen life, but actually had an interesting story to go along with it. Not a bad film.

a good movie to watch because its message is big ideas are great. having fun is really important too. could have been written better, but there's definitely some substance to what seems like another post-teen movie.

"You killed her? No! How?! With a butcher's knife?!"Disaffected college student Bickford Shmeckler (Patrick Fugit) has filled a book with his cool and revolutionary ideas about reality. One night at a party, beautiful kleptomaniac Sarah (Olivia Wilde) stumbles into his room, and makes off with his book of ideas. Over the next few days, Bickford frantically tries to track the book back down, while reading it has a huge affect on the lives of Sarah, an entire Dungeons and Dragons club, a horny cosmology professor, and a group of homeless nuts led by a man named Spaceman. Yes, the movie really is that random. The most random and peculiar indie comedy that I've seen in a while. As you can tell from the description, this is a pretty weird movie. It's low-budget, for sure. Lots of obscure tunes from college radio on the soundtrack, and lots of "alternative" humor. I found the attempts at humor to be more bemusing, than anything else. I only recall laughing out loud once (thanks to a few cameos from Reno 911! and a rape joke that came out of nowhere). If the idea of a book giving women brain orgasms sounds funny to you, then you'll be right at home, here. I don't really think I can recommend that anyone who's not a massive Olivia Wilde or Patrick Fugit fan go out of their way to catch this one. The movie takes a turn for the dramatic at the end that doesn't fit well with anything that came before, and the entire script just seems like it could have used some more work and development.
