No, not being able to stomach the lead, plus gender and agency issues I've read about, plus Chris Evans appearing to be a combo of the most annoying and least attractive he's ever been in the preview, have convinced me this movie is Not My Beautiful Cake.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
(Chris Evans was still kinda hot. But I get you on all the rest)

ita, I found Zombieland entertaining. It isn't deep and there is a spectacular cameo in the latter 3rd of the movie that isn't to be missed.

Raq, have you seen The Prestige?
That's what Primer reminds me of...kinda.

Huh, I didn't think of that, but you're right. Both movies have endings that make you realize that you actually didn't even know what was going on in the movie you just watched.

Chris Evans was hilarious in Scott Pilgrim, but Brandon Routh was even funnier. I guess i don't get the Michael Cera issues. But the only other thing I've seen him in was Arrested Development, so that might have something to do with it.

Brandon Routh was even funnier.

Brandon Routh was so damn funny. The whole explanation of "Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday" was beautiful.
