the most appealing aspect of this movie is the prospect of michael cera playing his character much in the same way that he played his character, george michael, on the show arrested development. i'm sure he's not doing it on purpose exactly; it's more likely that he has limited range as an actor. whatever the case may be, his acting style comes across well in a comedy sense. the other dude in the movie, the fat kid with the afro, just seems crass and unappealing. that's okay though, because his character is one that i can easily ignore.i'm not quite sure what the plot of this movie is, but i think it's centered around two losers and their friends trying to have a memorable senior year. not exactly new subject matter, but i don't think that matters much. what will matter is the movie's tongue-in-cheek humor and style that will be highly enjoyable and entertaining.
prognosis: 8/10

i think you've seriously damaged your credibility as a movie critic/forecaster. it's obviously inflated due to your love affair with arrested development. i can't see myself watching it more than once, if i see it at all, and an 8 out of 10 would most likely be something i'd like to see multiple times.
it's possible that it could exceed my expectations, but i wouldn't forecast it as such.
i will admit that it is inflated, but it doesn't mean it is incorrect. all i can say is that if you watch it, you will agree [and you don't, it won't be because i am wrong, but because of spite].
i don't see how you can say i will agree with your forecast if neither one of us has even seen the movie yet. it's based on a couple of previews and a previous role of one of the characters. shaky statement at best.
i will say this: if michael cera does play the george michael type character in this, and all the commercials i've seen so far have led me to believe this, then 8 out of 10 is a lock. LOCK!
limeade you would already know this if you'd given arrested a real chance
(i had to remove my previous comment as i had accidentally revealed limeade's true identity.)
i think you might have misinterpreted my comment, or maybe i didn't word it well enough. whatever the case, i am predicting that if you watch it you will see that i am accurate in my forecast. what is the basis of this statement you ask, trailers and overall gut feeling. shaky? perhaps. correct? definitely.
i'm interpreting from this that happy ninja has in fact seen it and still gives it an 8 out of 10. in which case, i shall see it very soon.
