Weird story

Rating: 6/10 (2 October 2015)

The story is really a weird one in my view. It tells of a man who looks carefree but at then gets defeated by his obsession to this girl who had told him from the very first moment that they're not serious. It gets even weirder as the man looks to be socially acceptable to have a girl; he has a fine taste of clothing style, a steady paying job, and of course the looks; yet he is still single before he met the girl. Furthermore, he seeks advice from his younger sister who seems more mature than him. I don't know if this setting is meant to be a comedy but I don't really feel the comedic point in it. The developments can nicely go very much unpredictable. Yet the unpredictability goes to the direction of weirdness instead of nice. The acting overall is really a mixed work. Joseph Gordon-Levitt sure did well here although I won't say this is as his finest acting work. On the other side Zoey Deschanel did her parts plainly weird. Maybe its her effort to get into character, but I think she really misunderstood her character and misrepresented her instead. Her acting involved much of empty stares as Tom Cruise's involved much grinning as Ethan Hunt.
