Went to see it with my wife and son this morning, there's a Movie Tavern up the street from our place and they do the whole pancake breakfast thing. I'd seen the trailer before The Hobbit, and it looks pretty funny. Luckily the entire movie pretty much holds up the promise the trailer delivers. There's some romance, but it's not overwhelming and sappy, it's light and takes a back seat most of the time to bigger issues in the world. There are quite a few genuinely funny moments in the movie, and the acting is good. Definitely has the "couple's movie" recommendation, but going with a group of friends, it would still be excellent. It's apparently based on a young adult novel by the same name, so I wasn't sure what to expect from a maturity standpoint, but they do a good job making it a movie that all ages would enjoy across the board. Kind of a Zombieland atmosphere, but I actually liked this movie a bit better than Zombieland I think (I will get flack for that I'm sure, since I wasn't as enamored with Zombieland as a lot of people were).
Anyway, recommended if you were on the fence about it.
