Based on a serialized comic strip of the same name, The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green stars Daniel Letterle as the title character, a flighty serial monogamist for whom no boyfriend is quite "the one." When he dumps his current near-perfect squeeze, the recently out baseball player Kyle (Diego Serrano), his friends begin to worry -- even more so when he takes up with a rebound boyfriend, the moronic party boy Punch (Dean Shelton). But when one of Ethan's exes, Leo (David Monahan), announces his plans for a commitment ceremony, Ethan has to face his unrequited feelings and figure out what he really wants. Family Ties matriarch Meredith Baxter co-stars as Ethan's mince-no-words wedding-planner mom. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green can't be accused of false advertising. This adaptation of the underground comic strip is mostly unfabulous.
-
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
George Bamber's film is bouncy and agreeable but has a certain flatness to it; never making the case for its existence as a movie rather than a comic strip.
-
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Tiresome romantic comedy that reinforces every imaginable gay stereotype.
-
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
There's no visual life to it, the humor is lazy and broad, and the players are as two-dimensional as their cartoon origins suggest.
-
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
This feels like a school play that someone has dragged to film school and turned into a final project.
