I liked it a lot, 29 May 2004
Author: plexus-5 from toronto, canada

I am sitting here in a Tim Hortons just after watching Greendale. I should say that I am not a big fan of neil young. I appreciate his work but I'm not a fan. However I really enjoyed Greendale. I don't think this film can be judged or viewed in the same context as your average film. Doing so would raise many criticisms. The key here is to take the film for what it has to offer and also understand that this is a very unique filmatic presentation. Its very creative and I feel it does a good job of entertaining as well as provoking thought. True there isn't a deep plot, great character development or a strong screenplay as a foundation. Rather this film is an artistic fusion of music and emulsion. So go see it and just watch and enjoy. There is nothing really offensive with this film. It may not satisfy your desire for the aforementioned assets but it has unique redeeming values. I enjoyed the music so much I am going to buy the cd or the DVD if its available.
