…excellent and relatively unknown comedy/drama based on a screenplay by Douglas Coupland…a snapshot of what one hoped was a turning point of social disaffection with corporate capitalism…

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 12, 2024

"Pretty but shallow" is often a complaint about Vancouver, and Everything's Gone Green suffers from the same problem.

Coupland would need the luxury of prose to vindicate this material

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 17, 2010

Slacker comedy mixes marijuana and satire.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2007

Gives the audience some fine eye candy, but Douglas Coupland's first foray into the realm of writing for the screen offers little else to recommend it.

Full Review | Original Score: 60/100 | Jul 8, 2007

A charming disappointment that retains the elements that make the writer's novels so good without ever bending them into cinematic shape.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 6, 2007

Ryan's journey to self-discovery isn't entirely credible, but Costanzo's acting chops are good enough to make you care about him despite any shortcomings in the script

Call it "Garden Province."

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 25, 2007

Everything's Gone Green is a romantic comedy/social satire that, on a modest budget, manages to be hip, charming, funny and dressed to kill.

Far more pleasant than having your teeth cleaned but less memorable, Everything's Gone Green is a nice diversion that will get you thinking - about booking a flight to British Columbia.

In outline, EGG is a romantic comedy with a standard genre plot -- good guy tries to win good girl away from bad guy -- but at its center, it's really about a guy trying to ... live in an ethical way even though everyone around him is corrupt.

Too many cute anecdotes prevent it from rising above the throwaway ethos the real Generation X left behind nearly a decade ago when it abruptly got over itself.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 4, 2007

Coupland and Fox do a nimble job of incorporating seemingly tangential points that are deceptively relevant to the larger issues.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 4, 2007

It's more clever than smart, but Paul Fox directs with the same easygoing attitude of its slacker hero...

| Original Score: B- | May 3, 2007

There's nothing really wrong about Everything's Gone Green, but there's nothing terribly vital about it either.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 27, 2007

Minor pleasures don't come close to compensating for a bloodless film that aims for wry but leaves you merely asking 'why?'

| Original Score: C- | Apr 27, 2007

Everything's Gone Green, the first feature script from noted Canadian author Douglas Coupland, is the ultimate love letter to his native, beloved Vancouver.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 27, 2007

Everything's Gone Green is the second feature directed by Paul Fox, who maintains an energetic, lighthearted tone throughout the film, even when the story loses focus at its not-quite-satisfying ending.

[Actor] 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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 26, 2007

The movie is least successful during literal-minded debates about who's corrupt and who isn't. But Mr. Coupland's screenplay of polarities also makes worthwhile stops to smell the surrealism.
