Not entirely sure what I missed

Rating: 1/10 (14 December 2010)

As mentioned in the title I really have no idea why this movie is held in such high regard. Did I miss something obvious? The plot was insubstantial and then the movie seems in a hurry to wrap itself up. The humour for me was perhaps a little to quirky and I did not find it funny in the least.
I should have been warned by the mention of an Oscar, that tends to mean its going to be rubbish.
I have read that its primarily a love story, I would like to ask how, where and when?
The one redeeming feature was...wait a sec there wasn't one.
