A Film I Love To Hate And Hate To Love

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2015)

An offbeat romantic comedy about a woman (Zooey 'Poopsy' Deschanel) who does not believe true love exists, and the young man (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who falls for her.
I am so conflicted about this film. The quirkiness of it appeals to me, and it is great that Summer recognizes that the greatest Beatles song ever recorded in "Octopus Garden", which most people overlook. And Chloe Grace Moretz has a supporting role, which instantly boosts it.
But then there is my love-hate relationship with Zooey Deschanel. I hate her popularity, and I hate her character here. But that is more about me than the film. So it is an internal conflict in watching this -- do I enjoy the good parts and ignore the bad parts, or just go ahead and hate the whole thing?
