I think the concept of the film is quite different and personally I think its hard to portray this very well. I don't think this film did that. Both Emma and Willy where very strange characters and I could not get a feel for them at all which is not what I expect from films like this.I was generally hoping for some romantic you know teen sample but it really thrown that whole idea away and focused more on the emotion towards both characters singly. If you read the synopsis of the film beforehand which I did it seems as if it will mostly be both the characters throughout the film but it was completely different and I don't like to dislike this movie but it was difficult for me to connect towards the characters.From the airport scene at the end, this was the moment where I all of a sudden paid more attention to the characters because you could then start seeing links towards Willy and Emma. The letters where a great aspect that I started feeling something for the characters because before any of this I pretty much wasn't even rooting for Willy which I don't know why. The ending had a great scene with the juggling which was probably my favourite bit to be honest. I could see something between them which then there was a sudden glimpse of rooting for Willy which pretty much saved the film for me at the end.Overall I think the film and actors have potential certainly it just wasn't for me and I think 6/10 is pretty much it.

A dreamer is without a job has been in love with a woman named Emma Twist (Rachel Bilson) most of his life, sets out to find the young actress, so he can tell her how much he loves her. Unfortunately his brother (Scott Mechlowicz) thinks he needs help, and people tend to judge him harshly. Emma has issues of her own with a couple of dysfunctional parents, especially her Dad (Richard Jenkins) I saw this a few months ago. I was bored, and in the mood for something romantic to watch. I chose this, and went in with very low expectations. It ended up exceeding the expectations I had, and I shut it off with a smile on my face. The character of Will (Tom Sturridge) will probably have people divided with what they think about him. Personally, I liked his naive character. It was very pleasant, and he was such a good hearted soul, I couldn't help but like him. I think many of us, including myself have often been confused of what they truly wanna do for a living. I managed to empathize with that. Rachel Bilson is cute as a button, and a woman I would do anything to be with. I related to what she was going through, and understood her actions. You'll love her. Richard Jenkins & Blythe Danner are excellent as the parents of Bilson's. The ending is really heartwarming and you'll feel very happy after itFinal Thoughts: It's just a nice romantic film for whenever you're in the mood. It's innocuous fun, and these days that's all I look for. Recommended7.4/10

I'll be honest, I only bothered watching this movie because of Rachel Bilson. However, it was not at all the chick flick I expected it to be. Actually, I would say that it's not a chick flick at all. What it is is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. Not sad in the "Hachi" or "Green Mile" sense where it's a tear-jerker because it had incredibly sad scenes. It's more sad in a depressing and realistic way where the foundation of the movie is essentially how life kinda sucks and is very hard and isn't all "peachy". Is there a love story mixed in? Sure, but there's a love story mixed into a lot of movies, TV shows, and even video games so I don't think "love story = chick flick" automatically. I thought the acting was solid, the story was very original and well told, and the development of the characters and plot was outstanding. The story was incredibly slow and I thought the ending of the movie went against what the purpose of the plot was all about so they kind of sold out there but it was still a solid movie. It's not great by any means of the imagination and most people might not have the patience to allow themselves to get wrapped up into the film but it's a much better movie than all of those soulless critics made it out to be.

I never review but I need to get this out there. This was the most wasted two hours of my life by far. It makes zero sense. I went into it, being a huge indie romance fan, and coming out thinking this movie was a disgrace to the genre. There is not one bit of romance besides the last 30 seconds of the movie. The whole thing is so slow and goes no where. And it was complete and utter nonsense to throw a murder randomly in the middle of it. I mean, subplots are nice sometimes but really? You have to make it relate. That had no place being in a movie like this. The guy was creepy for being such a stalker and honest to god he made it really seem that he had a mental problem. He was a good actor, just a terrible character. And the girl was just an awful actress, I don't even want to talk about that. This was definitely the worst movie I've ever seen. None of it makes any sense. Like I said, there's not romance in it. DON'T EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME.
