Overrated? I really like Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, and other actors in this film, but my expectation was that the characters might not be people I'd want to spend a full 2 hours with. It exceeded my expectations but still felt a little too ethereal and, dare I say, self-indulgent?

I think this hasn't been given a fair shake - maybe people are less open-minded about comedies, but I thought this was creative speculative fiction with some ironic funny moments. Would watch again.

I know this is a classic, but it really hasn't aged well. A lot of this genre doesn't appeal to me personally anyway, but it's hard to imagine that anyone who isn't already a Mel Brooks fan would enjoy this on first viewing in the 21st century...
