Seeing the trailer, I really did not think this was going to be a favorite. I thought it's gonna be a feel-good flick about "coming out" or maybe "sexual identity confusion" which would eventually be another romantic I-saw-that-already. Though admittedly there were some clichés and bad acting left noticed, what caught me sticking was the intensity in most scenes and dialogues--delivered naturally and wickedly satirical and funny! Also, I think that the way the cinematography payed attention to the small details around a particular character is exquisite (e.g. like how Jessica, for all her intellect, still has a dumb side -- maybe because her facial features are quite of a blonde's? Well, she's a Jew so I don't know ^_^ )
