Charming, light hearted waffle.

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2011)

This film is nice and charming, but only when it's on. It is never going to go to go down in history as a great film, but hey, there's nothing wrong with it. It's a romantic-comedy with no big laughs, no real twist, a few nice one liners (mostly from Kat Dennings, who is the best person in the film). What the film makes by being a solid and easy watching film, is lost by a lack of real ambition. The film takes no real twists and doesn't really go anywhere. It's basically a stream of conscienceness from the eyes of the film makers. It's what I like to call 'Good Movie Waffle'. Michael Cera is charming and witty as he always is and Kat Dennings is beautiful, funny and incredibly easy to develop a crush on. The music is very good and probably the best thing about the film. It's well worth watching, once.
Viewing suggestion: Watch this film when ill, in bed and half brain-dead, where watching something even slightly complicated would strain oneself.
