Good, not great. The first 15 minutes seem like they are trying REALLY hard to be quirky, but then it settled down and improved greatly. I love the actors more than anything - I'm a fan of Jason Bateman, Allison Janney, J.K. Simmons, Ellen Page, Olivia Thirlby, Michael Cera, and Jennifer Garner is OK. Also, I think my sweet-little-quirky-indie-film quota may have been filled at this point. I love indie rock as much as the next guy, but damn, the Moldy Peaches aren't the only band in the world.

Also good not great. I think its overrated, but thats just because people rank it as a best-of-year type movie. It's not, its just really solid entertainment. But Brad Bird is an amazing man, and the animation of this movie is pretty mindblowingly awesome. Most other animators should just go home and let him do his thing from now on.
