A very clever light hearted comedy.
A lot has been said of the writing (which I have to agree with most of except). But along with all that, the movie is very cohesive in tone with the music, acting and directing all working in unison to create memorable and consistent experience.
That being said, this movie is about the writing which is top notch. I disagree with many that call the writing realistic (how many peoples parents would be that cool with something like that) but I would call it incredibly natural. The acting contributes a huge amount to that as well.
The music is cute and fitting and maintains the light tone throughout.
All in all, an enjoyable hour and a half even if not profound in any way.
Score: 3 orange tic-tacs (out of 5)
A witty womb of words:
"That ain't no etch-a-sketch. This is one doodle that can't be un-did, homeskillet."
Diablo Cody wrote the witty dialogue
Jason Reitman directed the witty dialogue
Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman said the witty dialogue

a "simple" movie though nothing special. I found Cera's nervous, twitchy high-schooler (done to perfection in "Superbad") a little old but like you said, the writing was very witty and helped the movie throughout. Jason Bateman rocked!
