The movie stars Charlyne Yi, Michael Cera (Juno, Frequency), Jake M Johnson, Demetri Martin (The Rocker, Post Grad), and Paul Rust (Inglourious Basterds).
The movie is a hybrid documentary and scripted comedy about Yi's quest to find the true meaning of love with the side story of Yi and Cera real life romance.
The start is a perfecdt fit for what movie you expect to see Cera in. For me it grabbed my interist from the start. I think if you liked Best in Show or A Mighty Wind you will like this. They are similuar in style.
I thought the paper machae scenes were all good and used in proper perportion that added to the film. They did not overuse them. The zoo scene was well done. Espically when talking about what was a date.
Yi coems across as very authentic. Someone comefortable with her self. She did not come across as doing any acting. I dont know how much was was real and what was scrpted. It did not matter but it was fun to try and figure out what was real. I assume the interviews were the real parts while the dialogut with the director was scripted. I dont know how much with Cera was scripted.
Some of the people thanked at the end of the movie were Jonah Hill, Ivan and Jason Raitman. With Cera and Yi doing some of the music. If you are looking for something querky this is for you. I thought some of the middle was a little bit slow but on the whole worth watching.
Im rating this as a B. Like I said before if you liked Best in Show or A Mighty Wind you will like this also.
