The narrating was kind of cheesy, imo. I guess because that "voice" reminds me of something I'd heard in some fairytale-like movie. It wasn't too distracting though. Look at the movie "UP" - actions speak louder than words. There wasn't any narration in the flashbacks from "UP", but there was so much emotion in it.


The fact that the story was not told in chronological order was pretty distracting. It's like, you had to remember what day/number it was when Summer said she just wanted to be friends, at the diner

However, I really liked the subtlety of the jokes and the plot. DEFINITELY a slice-of-life kind of movie. Also, it didn't have a predictable ending, which made it more interesting.

P.S. the whole time I was like, omg why does this Joseph Gordon-Levitt guy look so familiar? Then I remembered he was in 3rd Rock from the Sun!!! I loved that sitcom! I miss it, it was so cheesy but hilarious at the same time, haha.

P.S. some parts where he smiled, he looked like a slightly-older, skinnier, white-looking version of Kim Bum. Most be the dimples and the chin. hahaha.
