Elijah Wood does a terrific job in this movie! The only thing that shines brighter in this movie is how 'LOVE' is portrayed (i am absolutely fascinated by this part of the movie). Other than that, the movie is quite poor. Elijah Woods voice-over is a pretty decent addition, however the acting in general among the rest of the actors is not satisfying. Except from the main character this movie is pretty dull (ths might even have been on purpose, to state that the surrounding world is dull - i however don't think this is the case).If you're not that critical with the technical details in a movie and seek a great love-film (i really dislike this concept normally - i was very surprised with this movie), then i highly recommend this movie!Innovation: 2 - Acting: 2 - Directing: 6 - Elijah Wood: 7 - Overall: 4,25

Elijah wood plays a college student who after dropping out after his first day, moves into an apt building. He soon envelops his life in the lives of a few of the residents, including a photographer, Famke Potente and a self absorbed actress (redundant?) Mandy Moore. While he tries to figure out his life, a car crash makes him focus and do a reality check. The movie is a nice slice of life coming of age film but it seems that there is no there there. The acting is OK and the story is OK but slow. In the end it seems like the movie just sits there and doesn't really say anything that the viewer wants to hear.if you are a fan of the actors it is a passable way to waste a hour or so, but they have done better

(Sorry for my bad English) First of all, I think this movie is so underrated, it deserves at least 8 stars. Elijah Wood, Franka Potente and Mandy Moore with Chris Martin does excellent acting in this film.I'm surprised that i haven't heard about this movie before 'cause it's very good and heartwarming It has great script very good actors and it's most original romantic comedy i've seen for years. It's kind of movie that you wouldn't want to end I don't know what to write about...you just have to see it yourself. If you like romantic comedies this is just for you. It's romantic and it has just right amount of humor in it. Like some other movies this doesn't try too hard and that makes it better than most of movies that try to be more funny that they really are

Because of his superb work as Frodo, I have become a fan of E. Wood. Recently, I began viewing his previous films, having seen very few before LotR. A few nights ago I watched "The War", a pretty good film in which Wood does an amazing, truly convincing job at portraying the intense, very complex boy, Stu. But viewing "All I Want", I hardly can believe it is the same actor! The film has many good ideas but doesn't develop them. It's like a sketch for another film that never was made. The acting is like that, too. Some good ideas, isolated convincing moments, but mostly the scenes seem more like early rehearsals than finished performances. I can only think to blame the director for both the wispyness of the film as a whole and for the portrayals, most of which only hint at what might make their characters tick. Only Franka Potente is able to scrounge up something that feels like a real person. A waste of a lot of acting talent all round, in my opinion.
