OK - but u gotta see it all - otherwise u won't like it

Rating: 5/10 (23 September 2012)

another movie i never heard about - so i gave it a look. my first impression was,"oh no, she looks like linda ronstadt and he looks oriental." once i reached past that perception blockage, i was able to sit through the whole film. then when it was at it's end my first question to myself was, "why did i watch linda ronstadt and that oriental looking guy walk through this story?"
i stuck with the movie because the further i got into the story the more i became involved with that oriental looking guy and just where his relationship with linda ronstadt was going. the pacing of the movie was at first off-putting then became a comforting key into these two lives. the constant use of back flashes actually helps the film move along well.
he comes across as one dimensional in mind but multi-dimensional in spirit. she has certainty of mind but is weakened by her sense of conscientiousness. i found the marrow of the story to be the brief scene with that red head girl he tried to rebound with once he realizes his relationship with 'summer' is a dead end. the friends are nothing more than a distraction and are not important, neither is the infrequent 'commentator'!
did i like the movie? not really. would i watch it again? no would i recommend it to friends? yes if i didn't like it why would i recommend it? because the story has something to offer about human nature and our unwillingness to deal with what we think and what we feel. give it a look!
