saw the movie mostly because i am a big Arrested Development fan (the excellent deleted television series that starred jason bateman and michael cera several years ago) i thought it was pretty funny, mostly enjoyable, weird to see someone like jason bateman who plays a 30 something yuppie in a movie saying how "he appreciates sonic youth" to say a 16 year old pregnant girl... but then again its a movie and it could actually happen, maybe... i thought the music worked well with the film and the musical segments weren't odd or overbearing and were used to kinda build up on what was happening during the the film.
but man if i had a nickle for everytime i heard some say "i bought a sonic youth album and all i thought of it was noise" i'd have enough cash to buy gas for a year... and that line was in the movie, that was probably the one thing that seemed distracting and not as funny as it should've been, but thats because i'm a SY fan.
