beware! ignore all prior comments! there are usually reasons you haven't seen some movies! this is one of them. its a pretentious, annoying, silly movie. understood most prior comments remarked on the silliness as a plus... i would agree if it were done well. there have been films that can accomplish such feats without making me gag. its not a necessarliy difficult thing to do (note: necessary roughness). the songs are cute... but stupid... intruding. overused... take the hint. it has the whole "art" scene in effect and the hip new york shots. those favorite "you know ive been there cause i'm cool" shots. the mise en scene is often painfully trite! it leaves me hungering for other Gen X romantic comedies like singles and reality bites. his themes are overly simplistic, like ugliness, etc. rest assured, most comments are coming from those people who are sycophantically obsessed (post Pulp Fiction side effect) with "indie" movies. (above: indie movies win oscars... how indie!) it's the same reasoning behind the popularity of the opposite of sex... another radically mediocre film which was praised for who knows what reasons! i want real woody allen and real annie hall. this movie is sad. i feel sorry for people who think it's good.
