OK movie, but.... its overrated

Rating: 4/10 (10 August 2007)

I became interested in this movie because I saw its position on IMDb top movies. At the time I watched it, it was at #44. I really do not understand why, it did not touch me at all.
First of all, I never liked Michael Gondry's style of directing. Too technical for my taste. This might be an emotional idea, but the realization is very cold. Somehow I do not feel any strong emotion throughout the movie.
All the time I was hoping and waiting for some kind of spectacular ending which will blow me off, like The Truman Show for example, but nothing special happened. Yes, they did meet again, so what? The atmosphere is similar to "Lost In Translation", which is another movie who I think is overrated. Maybe its the music, something there is that make these movies so unemotional to me. This movie might have been much better, but Gondry made it shallow and too complicated at the same time.
