Advantages: Great music, great acting, good script

Disadvantages: A bit sappy

From the moment I started watching this movie, I knew that it was going to be good. This is because it is a Fox Searchlight film, which is the same studio that helped bring Juno to the big screen. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the actors of this film since I am not familiar with any of their previous work. However, I came away feeling that they had done an exceptional job. More than anything, I felt that the music was one of the highlights of the film. From the constant Smiths references to the Hall and Oates-inspired dance number, I felt that this movie, much like our lives can be driven my music.

If you're someone who appreciates independent films, you'll definitely love this movie. I recommend it to anyone who has been in an odd relationship or someone who can appreciate independent and/or alternative music. I feel that this is one of the most underrated films to be released in the last year. It's a great film, and it really showcases the talents of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zoey Deschanel, who are two up-and-coming actors in their own respects.

Summary: Good film that showcases the talents of young actors and has a great soundtrack
