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
Appealing performances by Costanzo and Song, with comic support from Ryan’s entrepreneurial parents and Ming’s knife-wielding granny, guide us over the rough patches.
04/14/07
A charming disappointment that retains the elements that make the writer's novels so good without ever bending them into cinematic shape.
07/06/07
Top CriticEverything's Gone Green just barely hangs there in that low-watt Canadian film world deadpan.
04/05/07
In trying to mock the yuppie subculture by poking fun at people who become obsessed with grass grow-ops and pyramid schemes, Fox shoehorns Coupland's generalizations into a lame character comedy.
04/13/07
Coupland and Fox do a nimble job of incorporating seemingly tangential points that are deceptively relevant to the larger issues.
05/04/07
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
Top CriticPic 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
Top CriticToo 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.
05/04/07
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
A gorgeous location, involving characters, and stellar wit add up to one crackerjack comedy.
04/20/07
The blandness of director Paul Fox's execution leaves much to be desired.
04/13/07
[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.
04/26/07
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.
07/08/07
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
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
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.
05/11/07
Minor pleasures don't come close to compensating for a bloodless film that aims for wry but leaves you merely asking 'why?'
04/27/07
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 CriticPaul Fox's direction has a deft ease and comic apprehension which serves the material beautifully, as well as the cast.
