Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Alicia I love this movie so much

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

sertraod Because the general public are morons and critics are refined professionals.NOT because critics are snooty snoots and regular folk know whats best.Hidden themes/plot:Michael Cera plays a young, educated, and rebellious American young man on a "TRIP" to Chile seeking out the San Pedro cactus, a psychoactive cactus containing mescaline. A TRIP to Chile, a road TRIP to the beach, and a mescaline TRIP on the beach.Cera's character, Jamie, is often described as aggressive, rude, unlikeable, etc. Actually people are simply misinterpreting his complete and utter IMPATIENCE and OBSESSION. Jamie is OBSESSED with Alduous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception" and Jamie is OBSESSED with getting to try mescaline.He along with three Chilean friends take a road trip/adventure across Chile having all these amazing experiences. Does Jamie care? No, he wants to get going and won't even smell the roses (pointed out when Crystal Fairy smells the herbs she picked in the field and gets him to smell it). Jamie is so obsessed and impatient that he comes off extremely ungrateful. He fails to live in the moment.Jamie is impatient.Enter Crystal Fairy. Jamie is impatient. Crystal Fairy requires much, much patience to deal with.Jamie is logical, rational. Crystal fairy believes in things because.Jamie believes that mescaline open the doors of perception and will grant him some sort of insight in to himself and the world. Crystal fairy is an avid psychedelic user who's brain is entirely fried. Reality staring in the face of Jamie's psychedelic theory.So the theme is patience. Patience in waiting for something you're excited about and patience in dealing with difficult people.Crystal fairy's name is Crystal FAIRY. FAIRY. At the end of the movie she mysteriously disappears behind a rock. Fairy=ANGEL.Michael Cera's character, Jamie, is UNGRATEFUL to God for the life he's been given. He takes his adventure in Chile entirely for granted. Ridiculously so. So "God", a secret character in this story, sends a magic psychedelic hippie angel who is SUPER stupid and annoying. To teach Jamie patience in dealing with people and in waiting for things to occur. Also to be the living example of the dangers of psychedelics--to try to scare Jamie away from drugs.He does it anyways.WHOA. What a trippy movie.This entire movie is a TRIP. A trip to Chile, a trip across Chile, and a psychedelic trip. Also a secret subplot that blows minds.Considering this was masterfully written/directed by one individual... it's a 10/10.If you think this movie sucks... no, you just totally missed the entire point of the movie.

SnoopyStyle Jamie (Michael Cera) is an American traveling in Chile. At a drug filled party with his friend Champa, he meets a spirited Crystal Fairy (Gaby Hoffmann). Jamie and Champa go on a road trip with 2 friends to take mescaline from the San Pedro cactus. They find Crystal trying to pay some women with 2 drawings of fairies. Crystal is a real hippie. Champa takes her on the trip. Jamie would rather leave her behind while he obsessively searches for the new high.Jamie is selfish and a little bit annoying. Crystal is a flighty hippie. The two actors are likable personalities which keeps the unlikeability of the characters to a minimal. This is a hazy unstructured road trip hell bent on getting a specific high. Jamie is an obsessive character. It's interesting to see Michael Cera in this role. The story is a bit light weight until the serious ending.

John Gillberg People who have rated this movie just don't get it. The movie was one of those funny charming movies that you just snuggle up next to and become a part of. People who have rated this movie as awful seem to maybe not understand it, maybe those people should keep to their cheap comedy American pie movies instead of getting involved in something they don't understand. Michael Cera did his usual wonderful job, in a wonderful film. I hope you do watch it, it's worth it. And I think this is one of my new favorite movies, I just want to watch it over and over again. And I suggest the people who have hated on it should do so as well, see if you find the beauty of it this time. I probably sound like some kind of high hippie right now but I'm just a normal dude that knows a good movie when I see one :)

Tad Pole Childish drawings. Public nakedness. Horrific gang-bang memories. A whole foods diet. An urge to Earth Mother everyone. Disrespect for private property. Yo-yo emotional outbursts. Unforgettable body odor. Lots of big words. Casual nudity before strange men. A constant need to be bailed out of jams. Cultural insensitivity. A hankering to scrapbook. Plenty of sunburns. Psychobabble. Relying on the kindness of strangers. The need to scold. A yen to dominate men. Conflict with female folk. Rampant insecurities. No serious effort to become an S.I. swimsuit model. An impractical approach to life. Gathering no moss. Taking lots of notes. Not stepping in the same river twice. No sense of direction. Mooching. Constantly being holier than thou. Willing to strap it on. That's just the attributes of the "Crystal Fairy" (played in CRYSTAL FAIRY & THE MAGIC CACTUS AND 2012 by Gabby Hoffman). How could co-star Michael Cera dump JUNO for HER?!
