I'm awfully biased going into most movies, like I know I'm going to hate Avatar for example...and likewise I really didn't think I could sit through a whole movie with Zooey Deschanel (did you know she sings too?) and was prepared for the worse. I mean I already thought she had ruined a few Weeds episodes when it was on its last breath...then I realized Weeds was already past saving and just dragging the poor girl down with her.
...but once the opening credits were over and the day counter scrolled to day #290 I was surprisingly interested in the little spin on the timeline. That proved to be a great thing for this movie and the rest of it was sealed by being outright funny. I mean, sure Joseph Gordon-Levitt cries at times like a little girl, but that just adds to the comedy of it all.
I liked how everything in the movie was straightforward and believable, right down to the end when he sees her one last time and moves on (had to see this coming, it's not that kind of happy happy movie).
Fun movie, goes through every little phase of a seeing a girl, getting a crush, being crushed, etc...his friends and unique for a movie job serve the supporting roles real well...as well. Doesn't really count as a love story, because only one person's in love. So it definitely doesn't count as a chick flick either. I could watch it with the guys I think. I loved the movie, and now like Zoey Deschanel too.
Bonus points for having Han Solo in it; so if a guy watches it with a girl he can ask if she knows who "that guy" is and know right away if he has to dump her or not.
4.76/5
