Gordon-11 This story tells the story of a writer and a young woman who forms an unlikely friendship.I thought the film would be funny but it is not funny at all. It is slow and meandering. The story does not get anywhere. The only reason to watch this is to watch Ryan Reynolds in that outfit. Even then, I found the film very boring.

areatw 'Paper Man' is a bizarre and tediously dull movie that never even seems sure of what it's trying to achieve. Most of the film is nothing more than a generic friendship story. A middle-aged man going through something of a midlife crisis befriends a younger girl, who helps him get back on track. But the man also has an imaginary friend, 'Captain Excellent', who I guess was supposed to bring the humour to the film... with little success.One of the main problems with 'Paper Man' is that it's so slow that it almost feels like its going backwards. It really is boring, even for someone with the patience of a saint. You would have thought a character like 'Captain Excellent' would have made the movie more interesting, but no. He adds very little to a film that already doesn't have much going for it. Jeff Daniels and Emma Stone are probably the only positives to speak of. Both deliver good performances and share the odd decent scene. Ryan Reynolds on the other hand, the less said the better.

SnoopyStyle Richard Dunn (Jeff Daniels) still talks to his imaginary superhero friend Captain Excellent (Ryan Reynolds). He is a blocked writer and his wife Claire (Lisa Kudrow) moves him out to Long Island for the winter. He befriends local teen Abby (Emma Stone) despite his imaginary friend's disapproval. She has a brutish boyfriend Bryce and a best friend stalker in Christopher (Kieran Culkin).Emma Stone is endearing and has a funny chemistry with Jeff Daniels. Kieran Culkin is also great. His character works unlike Captain Excellent which is the big problem in the movie. He is unnecessary and more of a distraction than anything helpful. He isn't actually funny. The movie is better off without him. Even the ending would work better without him because the twist is too obvious with Captain Excellent around.

Mr Black I found this film on DVD and bought in only because Jeff Daniels was in it. Hadn't even heard of it before. It's a different type of story for sure, and that's why I like it. Somewhat quirky. I got a big laugh out of Jeff Daniels character suggesting he could host a party for his teenage friend and her friends. Nothing like a mid life crisis to get you back in the party - or not. I'm not to sure about him having the imaginary friend though. You would usually be over that by his age. However, i was fooled by the girl's imaginary friend. The way it is played out it is not until later in the movie you realize he doesn't even exist except for in her mind. All in all, I really enjoyed this film.
