This is a prototype for something really quite special

The director is a genius for creating this beautiful atmosphere. The end scene made me cry every time I watched it :) The acting is wonderful, too, of course.

Charming story about love and cereal.

It isn't good enough to be worth your time, but it's also not bad enough to be worth taking the time to criticize. It exists in a sort of film limbo, where only the most uninteresting movies go. The "Should I see it?" answer is no, even if you happen to be the world's biggest Zooey Deschanel fan. It has funny moments, but overall isn't a comedy, and the story it tells isn't a poorly created one, but it also doesn't work as an effective drama. It's almost strange enough that it's worth watching.

In between the patchy romantic comedy segments, it attempts to take some wild swings at capitalist culture, unfortunately it never really succeeds on either front.
