The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green can't be accused of false advertising. This adaptation of the underground comic strip is mostly unfabulous.

There's just not enough real heart to go along with the cutesiness.

George Bamber's film is bouncy and agreeable but has a certain flatness to it; never making the case for its existence as a movie rather than a comic strip.

The drawings of Eric Orner's comic strip on which the movie is based are more animated than the actors who fail to give any dimension to their characters.

Tiresome romantic comedy that reinforces every imaginable gay stereotype.

There's no visual life to it, the humor is lazy and broad, and the players are as two-dimensional as their cartoon origins suggest.

With its unpleasant characters, inconsistent script and awkward acting, what's not to hate?

The title does its own summing up: mostly, it's unfab.

This feels like a school play that someone has dragged to film school and turned into a final project.

The film's tone veers from misjudged sincerity to shrill sketch comedy of the broadest stripe.

No, he doesn't have anything terribly important, or even original to say, but he's funny, flighty and adorable, sort of like a gay Holly Golightly.

'I'm 19, but I'm petulant' somehow sums it up.

With words streaming out of their mouths instead of into bubbles, Ethan and his gang of past, present and future lovers sound laughingly unbelievable.

Remarkably true to its source: It's none too deep and a tad cartoonish, but also fast-paced, filled with quotable one-liners and often very funny.

This bright, fast-paced adaptation of Eric Orner's syndicated gay comic strip may not break any new cinematic ground, but its sharp, zingy wit and underlying sweetness deftly compensate for the occasional awkward patch or glaring narrative contrivance.

There's so much ill-conceived fluff floating about the 'elusive true love' themes that by the finish, Ethan Green hasn't as much substance as a good Looney Tunes.
