Lead characters who are completely unlikable fly right in the face of what most filmmakers think the audience wants. But I'll take that any day over a blandly nice character.

The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green can't be accused of false advertising. This adaptation of the underground comic strip is mostly unfabulous.

There's just not enough real heart to go along with the cutesiness.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 6, 2006
George Bamber's film is bouncy and agreeable but has a certain flatness to it; never making the case for its existence as a movie rather than a comic strip.

The drawings of Eric Orner's comic strip on which the movie is based are more animated than the actors who fail to give any dimension to their characters.
| Original Score: D | Aug 3, 2006
Tiresome romantic comedy that reinforces every imaginable gay stereotype.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 28, 2006
With its unpleasant characters, inconsistent script and awkward acting, what's not to hate?

The title does its own summing up: mostly, it's unfab.

This feels like a school play that someone has dragged to film school and turned into a final project.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 21, 2006
In his directing debut, David Vernon, formerly a first assistant and second assistant director, opts for the look of a cable 온라인카지노추천 pilot.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 14, 2006
The film's tone veers from misjudged sincerity to shrill sketch comedy of the broadest stripe.

No, he doesn't have anything terribly important, or even original to say, but he's funny, flighty and adorable, sort of like a gay Holly Golightly.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 8, 2006
'I'm 19, but I'm petulant' somehow sums it up.

With words streaming out of their mouths instead of into bubbles, Ethan and his gang of past, present and future lovers sound laughingly unbelievable.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 30, 2006
Remarkably true to its source: It's none too deep and a tad cartoonish, but also fast-paced, filled with quotable one-liners and often very funny.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 16, 2006
This bright, fast-paced adaptation of Eric Orner's syndicated gay comic strip may not break any new cinematic ground, but its sharp, zingy wit and underlying sweetness deftly compensate for the occasional awkward patch or glaring narrative contrivance.

There's so much ill-conceived fluff floating about the 'elusive true love' themes that by the finish, Ethan Green hasn't as much substance as a good Looney Tunes.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 16, 2006
Not un-entertaining, but director George Bamer's debut feature may play better on video.
