Dunno, the silly stuff is what saves the film for me. Underneath there is just a banal boy-meets-girl story with bad interpreters (classic Hollywood "attractive girl trying to pretend that she's not attractive", among others); but the ridiculous "VR van" and the smorgasbord of nerdpop references make for some decent smiles, if not laughs.

Most people are really attractive with the right clothes, makeup, and attitude.

I live 10 miles from where Olivia Cooke grew up, and let me assure you that she's not "average".

Spielberg is a better director than Cline is a writer.
