I am lucky that I saw this movie. The way they marketed it in the previews and commercials when it was in theatrical release made it seem like another typical "romantic comedy." That is an understatement, to say the least. This movie, while not groundbreaking, was definitely fun. I loved that it was different, unusual, and quirky. The humor was definitely dark (kind of like Heathers) and this will turn a lot of people off, especially since it was purported to be light.
Although I was reluctant to rent this movie (the first 10 minutes made me think it was going to be really dumb, like it was trying to do more than it should for this type of movie), I was soon swayed by the quirks, the smart dialogue and the interwoven plot. This movie is not an award winner and I wouldn't recommend it to a lot of people, but not because it is bad but because it is a matter style. Some will laugh, some will cry.
