As tepid and profoundly unoriginal as Everything's Gone Green is, it's got a wistful, winsome Canadian-ness that might give it some shelf life.

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.
Theatrical Release:Apr 13, 2007 Limited
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... [More]

Reviews for Everything's Gone Green
Top CriticRyan'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
07/03/07
Paul Fox's direction has a deft ease and comic apprehension which serves the material beautifully, as well as the cast.
04/13/07
...instantly recognizable as a product of novelist-turned-screenwriter Douglas Coupland's fertile imagination.
02/24/07
The blandness of director Paul Fox's execution leaves much to be desired.
04/13/07
Not quite the call to arms a more highly politicized new generation of kids in their 20s might have in mind, but it’ll do, just about, for a Saturday night cuddled up with your DVD player.
04/19/07
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.
04/20/07
The story -- a guy (Paulo Costanzo) who works for the lottery gets mixed up in money laundering -- is slight, but an appealing cast and lots of scenic leafery make Green feel fresh.
04/11/07
[Director] Fox's ensemble, led by Steph Song as the whale-watching cutie, exudes easy, impish charm. Vancouver plays itself, for a change, to a postcard-radiant fare-thee-well.
04/12/07
Top CriticEverything’s Gone Green, the first feature script from noted Canadian author Douglas Coupland, is the ultimate love letter to his native, beloved Vancouver.
04/27/07
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.
04/27/07
Top CriticThe film exists in that familiar Douglas Coupland never never land populated by twentysomethings facing cubicle farms and shoddy romances revealed under quasi-Ikea lamps.
04/13/07
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.
04/23/07
Top CriticIf the picture secretly hopes to supply viewers with the kind of epiphany its characters seek, it falls short, staying instead on turf tread in many other good-hearted festival films before it. Within that arena though, it holds its own.
04/19/07
Pic is seasoned with fine perfs by JR Bourne as a charismatic, creepy hustler and Steph Song as Constanzo's sexy potential love interest.
02/24/07
Coupland and Fox do a nimble job of incorporating seemingly tangential points that are deceptively relevant to the larger issues.
05/04/07
[Actors Costanzo] and Song make a sweet screen couple, although their charm is dwarfed by that of Vancouver itself, which is photographed as if it were New York in Woody Allen's Manhattan.
04/13/07
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.
05/17/07
Top CriticA gorgeous location, involving characters, and stellar wit add up to one crackerjack comedy.
04/20/07
Slacker comedy mixes marijuana and satire.
