"You should know up front, that this is not a love story." The opening monologue of the narrator captures the audience's attention immediately. And from there, well...you'll just have to watch.
This is my #1 favourite movie, and it has been for 5 years (ever since it came out). No matter how many times I've watched it, I still get teary at the exact same scenes.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel have a chemistry that flows - you can't take your eyes off either of them.
Things don't go as planned, and in real life, when do things ever turn out exactly the way that you imagined they would? I think that that is what makes me really adore this movie - it's realistic. In many ways, it does end happily, but just not in the way you would expect. Definitely not with the predictable and painfully cliché ending of most romantic movies.
