    Cera once again does his "Michael Cera thing." Personally, I love his "thing" but know it’s not for everyone, and I agree that it doesn’t always work contextually. But trust me, here it really works.

    The movie's hide-and-seek attitude toward truth mirrors the intricacies of one lover getting to know another -- an arresting notion of the heart that's much more than paper-deep.

    A quasi-documentary about love that is sweet, true and perhaps a little deceptive.

    Enjoying this wondrous wisp of a something is easy, describing it is hard. Luckily, Charlyne Yi is an enchantress.

    The movie’s a platypus: cute as the dickens but what the heck is it?

    A "hybrid documentary" that bemusedly blurs the line between fact and fiction.

    There may be a fairly sharp line dividing those who find the whole delightfully odd, and those irked by what could be read as a faux childlike simplicity to the enterprise.

    A documentary except when it's a mockumentary, this is all kinds of adorable and heartbreaking--the doc part, at least.

    This breach with the audience does matter, for it is one thing to seduce your viewers and quite another to trick them. Love is all about trust, after all.

    This isn’t a movie. It’s a MySpace page.
