I just saw it last night and thought it was really really funny, particularly well acted and very sweet. I was just wondering if that was the general consensus around these parts.

"A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."
"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor
I will more than likely be going to see this, it appears to be VERY entertaining. Also, I'm a huge fan of Steve Carell ever since his "News Broadcaster" part in Bruce Almighty. He appears to be very comedic.
Anuj... I'm 21 and went with Whorli and a friend of ours (both are also 21). We all got carded. Then again, he only looked at mine, since you only need 1 person 21+ to see an R rated movie (don't know how it is in Canada).
The movie itself was MUCH better than I expected it to be, and Whorli agrees. Overall, plenty of scenes that were corny enough to be funny. Plot is what is to be expected, but there were some damn funny lines in there. Pity at how bad the previews/commercials make the movie look... they could have done alot better. Hmm... maybe not, since all the funny scenes involve tits, profanity, or mass alcohol.
Regardless, I recommend those over the age of 16 to see it. Under that, you'll laugh... but there will be scenes that you don't get, and you really can't appreciate the movie unless you've been in the position of going to bars and trying to pick up chicks. So, Chardish might want to save his $10 on this one.
what a great movie, it picked every nuance up perfeectly... and the best part was, siegel and ebert gave it 2 thumbs way up and said it was comedic genius.. so there you go
Blahblah, don't you mean Ebert and Roeper? Jesus. >_<
So Tass, what you're saying is if you're a virgin, you won't get some of the jokes? Sucks for me, because I'm already halfway to the title character's position. (I turned 20 a couple of months ago, but that doesn't mean that each and every innuendo goes over my head like they make it look in the trailers.)

Rhythm: what I mean is that if you haven't experienced some of the things that Andy (the character) goes through personally, it won't hold as much meaning for you.
I got more out of it, because I've been in his spot a few times... even post virginity. Like bar scenes, awkward moments, crazy chicks, etc.
