I had high hopes for this movie but I was let down rather harshly. Despite what is said in the beginning of the movie, it is only just another boy-meets-girl movie, although the ending was less typical. Actually, I didn’t think the whole movie had much content, now that I try to remember what actually happened, I can only remember bits and pieces, for example the main characters sitting in a park, shouting ‘penis!’ (don’t ask…).

The way the story-line was constructed was a little peculiar as well, it took me a short while to get used to the narration jumping from present to the past and back to present again. It was all a bit confusing, to be honest. Also, as much as I adore Zooey Deschanel, her character was utterly boring. I suppose she was intended to be quirky and eccentric but I didn’t get that sort of feeling from her at any point. At best, her character was a little unusual by stating she didn’t believe in love (though she didn’t stand behind those words in the end).

Perhaps I’m too demanding but this movie just wasn’t that good. It wasn’t even that funny. And it could have been so much better, there was potential. But meh, this is what they came up with.
