Reviews Counted:35

Fresh:24

Rotten:11

Average Rating:6.6/10

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.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for some language, sexual material, and drug content.

Runtime: 1 hr 35 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Apr 13, 2007 Limited

After losing his job the same day he is dumped by his yuppie girlfriend, Ryan gets a dispiriting job with a tacky lottery magazine, photographing winners and writing their stories. In a Mandarin language class Ryan is taking for work, he meets and is immediately smitten by the lovely Ming (Steph Song). Ming, unfortunately, is currently involved with a fast-talking scammer, Bryce (JR Bourne). Bryce spots a money-laundering scheme involving the new lottery winners and Ryan soon launches himself into the lifestyle of the suddenly rich and not-otherwise-likely-to-be-famous. Soon, and without a lot of thought, Ryan has got the sports car and leather jacket of moneyed youth -- something that puts him at odds with Ming ,the beautiful set-dresser from class, who just so happens to be in the process of breaking up with Bryce. All Ryan needs to do is convince Ming how different he is from Bryce, which proves a bit harder than ever expected. "EVERYTHING’S GONE GREEN" comically illustrates how hard it is to know what’s real in a world filled with fabrication and hidden agendas. This film marks the first screenplay written by the acclaimed Douglas Coupland. -- © First Independent Pictures [More]

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.

If 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.

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.

Those quirky atmospherics aren't enough to sustain a largely plotless film.

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.

The film exists in that familiar Douglas Coupland never never land populated by twentysomethings facing cubicle farms and shoddy romances revealed under quasi-Ikea lamps.

Paul Fox's direction has a deft ease and comic apprehension which serves the material beautifully, as well as the cast.

The blandness of director Paul Fox's execution leaves much to be desired.

[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.

[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.

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.

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.

It's not the big picture that charms here, it's the details. More than anything, though, it's Costanzo -- a spindly Everydork who grows up not because he has to, but because he just kinda wants to.

Everything's Gone Green just barely hangs there in that low-watt Canadian film world deadpan.

It’s a bit of a shaky first screenwriting effort for Coupland, but not without its charms.

Pic is seasoned with fine perfs by JR Bourne as a charismatic, creepy hustler and Steph Song as Constanzo's sexy potential love interest.
