The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jennie Punter
Everything's Gone Green is the second feature directed by Paul Fox (The Dark Hours), who maintains an energetic, lighthearted tone throughout the film, even when the story loses focus at its not-quite-satisfying ending. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean Axmaker
It's more clever than smart, but Paul Fox directs with the same easygoing attitude of its slacker hero and finds some modest truths (also lower case) behind the props. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
A romantic comedy/social satire that, on a modest budget, manages to be hip, charming, funny and dressed to kill. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyGregory Kirschling
The story -- is slight, but an appealing cast and lots of scenic leafery make Green feel fresh. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
Novelist Douglas Coupland (Generation X) brings his millennial irony and middle-class angst to the big screen with this offbeat Canadian comedy about the lure of easy money. Read full review

VarietyKen Eisner
Starring an excellent Paulo Costanzo (late of "Joey") as a twentysomething uberslacker who is nonetheless willing to fall into accidental success, pic is seasoned with fine perfs by JR Bourne as a charismatic, creepy hustler and Steph Song as Constanzo's sexy potential love interest.

PremiereJessica Letkemann
Green, the first feature Coupland's written, doesn't really make any innovations to the Almost 30-Underachievers genre, but it's an endearing, solidly-crafted example. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Crust
The film's tone is on the sitcom side, but its likable cast and zany subplots make it palatable. Read full review

Village VoiceRobert Wilonsky
It's not the big picture that charms here, it's the details. More than anything, though, it's Costanzo--a spindly Everydork who grows up not because he has to, but because he just kinda wants to. Read full review

SalonAndrew O'Hehir
Fundamentally, it's a well-executed formula movie, perfect for first-date couples or miscellaneous group outings. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJoe Morgenstern
This is Coupland's first screenplay, and it shows -- in a cheerfully discursive quality, but also in a reliance on gestures, contrivance and dialectic speeches rather than dramatic development and conflict.

Austin ChronicleMarrit Ingman
On the plus side, Costanzo is an appealing and likable young actor who carries the film easily; he gives the impression that he is thinking deeply and mildly amused. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
It's a charming disappointment that retains the elements that make the writer's novels so good without ever bending them into cinematic shape. Read full review

Film ThreatPete Vonder Haar
It's a bit of a shaky first screenwriting effort for Coupland, but not without its charms. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
The dialogue does have Coupland's characteristic snap, but like its mellow hero, the movie takes the easy route just a little too often. Read full review

Portland OregonianMarc Mohan
A bloodless film that aims for wry but leaves you merely asking "why?" Read full review
38
New York PostKyle Smith
Some ideas are auto-stolen (from Coupland's last novel, "JPod"), but those quirky atmospherics aren't enough to sustain a largely plotless film. Read full review
