Consensus: Set in beautifully photographed Vancouver, Everything's Gone Green is a winsome coming-of-age tale, thanks to a deft script by Douglas Coupland.

Runtime: 1 hr 35 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Paulo Costanzo ("40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS", "ROAD TRIP", "JOEY") stars as Ryan, a twentysomething uberslacker who is nonetheless willing to fall into accidental success.

After losing his job the same day he is dumped by his yuppie girlfriend, Ryan gets a dispiriting job with a tacky lottery magazine, photographing winners and writing their stories. In a Mandarin language class Ryan is taking for work, he meets and is immediately smitten by the lovely Ming (Steph Song). Ming, unfortunately, is currently involved with a fast-talking scammer, Bryce (JR Bourne). Bryce spots a money-laundering scheme involving the new lottery winners and Ryan soon launches himself into the lifestyle of the suddenly rich and not-otherwise-likely-to-be-famous. Soon, and without a lot of thought, Ryan has got the sports car and leather jacket of moneyed youth -- something that puts him at odds with Ming ,the beautiful set-dresser from class, who just so happens to be in the process of breaking up with Bryce. All Ryan needs to do is convince Ming how different he is from Bryce, which proves a bit harder than ever expected. "EVERYTHING’S GONE GREEN" comically illustrates how hard it is to know what’s real in a world filled with fabrication and hidden agendas. This film marks the first screenplay written by the acclaimed Douglas Coupland. -- © First Independent Pictures [More]

Slacker comedy mixes marijuana and satire.

Gives the audience some fine eye candy, but Douglas Coupland's first foray into the realm of writing for the screen offers little else to recommend it.

A charming disappointment that retains the elements that make the writer's novels so good without ever bending them into cinematic shape.

Ryan's journey to self-discovery isn't entirely credible, but Costanzo's acting chops are good enough to make you care about him despite any shortcomings in the script

Everything's Gone Green is a romantic comedy/social satire that, on a modest budget, manages to be hip, charming, funny and dressed to kill.

Far more pleasant than having your teeth cleaned but less memorable, Everything's Gone Green is a nice diversion that will get you thinking - about booking a flight to British Columbia.

Too many cute anecdotes prevent it from rising above the throwaway ethos the real Generation X left behind nearly a decade ago when it abruptly got over itself.

Coupland and Fox do a nimble job of incorporating seemingly tangential points that are deceptively relevant to the larger issues.

It's more clever than smart, but Paul Fox directs with the same easygoing attitude of its slacker hero...

There's nothing really wrong about Everything's Gone Green, but there's nothing terribly vital about it either.

Minor pleasures don't come close to compensating for a bloodless film that aims for wry but leaves you merely asking 'why?'

Everything’s Gone Green, the first feature script from noted Canadian author Douglas Coupland, is the ultimate love letter to his native, beloved Vancouver.

Everything's Gone Green is the second feature directed by Paul Fox, who maintains an energetic, lighthearted tone throughout the film, even when the story loses focus at its not-quite-satisfying ending.

[Actor] Costanzo is an appealing and likable young actor who carries the film easily; he gives the impression that he is thinking deeply and mildly amused.

The movie is least successful during literal-minded debates about who's corrupt and who isn't. But Mr. Coupland's screenplay of polarities also makes worthwhile stops to smell the surrealism.

A gorgeous location, involving characters, and stellar wit add up to one crackerjack comedy.

Layered with odd ideas, cultural references, snappy dialogue, dreamy visuals and charming characters, all of which add to up a refreshingly unironic look at love, life and the desire to just be.
