An emotion packed movie. An exploration in melancholy and meaning. Incredible soundtrack.

Quirky romcom with a soundtrack that captures the existential romance/depression of the 00s and late adolescence in general.

I think it was super funny most of the time, but I didn't like the last half hour

So many dimensions to this movie and it’s delightfully goofy. Most of all, it reminds me of home. Can’t wait to give it a try again.

Hipster garbage, but before it was cool to be hipster garbage, so extra cool points for uh being hipster garbage?

Cute little romance story. Not my favorite movie but the sound track is so good it’s worth watching just for that

If you like Juno or Little Miss Sunshine then you will like this movie. Wholesome ending but topics of death, depression, etc are shown.
