Member Rating:  
A slacker edging into his thirties plots a not quite legal get-rich-quick scheme in this satiric comedy written by celebrated novelist Douglas Coupland. Ryan (Paulo Costanzo) lives and works in Vancouver, which has become overrun by runaway Hollywood film crews and folks looking for an easy buck however they can find it. Ryan's unemployed father grows marijuana in his basement, his brother is involved in a real-estate scam that bilks tycoons from Hong Kong who never see the property they only think they own, and Ryan himself is an office drone at a magazine devoted to chronicling the lives of lottery winners. After his girlfriend leaves him for a wealthy yuppie, Ryan falls for Ming (Steph Song), a beautiful Asian woman he meets in a Mandarin language class. Prompted by Ming's desire for a more luxurious lifestyle, Ryan dreams up a scheme to fix the lottery using what he's learned at his job. Adapted from the first original screenplay from Douglas Coupland, Everything's Gone Green received its world premiere at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I don't know why this movie got a low rating. Beautiful cinematography, good acting, witty dialogue, plot was slightly dry but really enjoyable. It's an artsy pothead movie without anyone smoking pot. I loved it!

    I really enjoyed this film. It definetly wasn't the "smoker" movie the marketing is trying to make it in to. It's more of a cross between Garden State and Office Space, with the tone primarily taken from Garden State. Of course I loved both of those films so I couldn't help but like this one. The acting is all pretty decent, the odd plot and characters were all great. So anyway don't expect Half Baked or even Road Trip. But it's a fine film that really made me want to visit Vancouver again.

    This was indeed, a satrical comedy. Also it was enjoyable. Ryan(Paulo Constanzo), although quite unambitious, is rather engaging. His parents' business of growing marijuna created some hilarious, unsophisticated scenes. Ming's new set of values makes a nice ending to the film. Also there were some very beautiful scenes of various parts of Vancouver.
