Just watched it, and it was a very good love story. I should have seen it earlier since Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are two of my favorite actors working today, and both have great performances in the film. I'm usually not a big fan of films where Romance is the primary issue, but this does it well and it is also pretty funny. I loved the non-linearity of the story and it reminded me alot of "Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind".

4.5 out of 5

A female friend kept telling me I needed to see this so one day I finally did. I really enjoyed it. Good story and I really liked the use of their artwork throughout the film. I only saw it like 2 months ago, but I'd watch it again.

I'd give it 4/5

Levitt has shot up the charts as my favorite actor. The guy is simply amazing in every movie. Who would have thought it?

Zooey speaks for herself. Her voice + blue eyes= perfection

OML, my sentiments exactly. I never go for romance flicks but this was a good one. Great performance by JGL.

I like Levitt. But what has he been in to become your favorite actor? Most people haven't even seen what most consider his best role.

Inception is now JGL's best movie. Hands down.

Just watched this and thought it was great. Way better than what I thought it would be. Very surprised. Even the smart younger sister did a good job and normally I hate roles like that because movies tend to force the youngsters to be grown up, but she did an excellent job, the whole cast did.

It's a pretty funny movie. I liked JGL's dance number after he hit it for the first time.

Mysterious Skin? That is hands down my favorite role of his (and probably will always be). That is saying a lot as he also gave great performances in Manic, The Lookout, and Brick. I haven't seen Inception yet, but I really liked him in 500 Days as well.

The true shame of course is that there was no Oscar nomination for Cobra Commander.

I thought it was just another chick-flick going into it, but I decided to suffer through it because of Zooey Deschanel. However, it was a great movie. I really enjoyed it.

you definitely cannot go wrong with Hall & Oate, the Smiths, and Wolfmother
I saw this movie for the first time on a 14 hour plane ride and I ended up watching it twice in a row. I still love the karaoke scene with "I'm proud to be an american"
