    Ahh, I recently watched it and it was great. Although it was set up as a romantic comedy, it doesn't follow the trend which is great. And the reality/expectation scene was awesome. But there was one thing I didn't like...
    The girl at the end was named Autumn? What? Ew, thats so lame.

    It was a joke! It was to emphasize the whole coincidence things.
    And to remind the audience that this is all just a movie, so they can exaggerate whatever they want.

    Essential the movie was a romantic comedy. And to only have one moment like that it pretty impressive.

    It's very different than your typical romantic comedy. It's not stupid :)

    I thought it was pretty decent, probably not something I would watch often, but not a total waste of time :)

    So I saw this movie last Friday. I saw it with my friend, a 19 year old guy. We both really enjoyed it. I looked at some reviews, one reviewer called it "the best romantic comedy since Love Actually". Interesting. It had a great score on Rotten Tomatoes.

    I really like both of the actors in it (I <3 Zooey Deschanel so much. Probs my favourite female celeb), and the kid from 10 things I hate about you was good. He's matured haha.

    Oh I'm so glad people think its good here, I'm going to see it tomorrow night :) now I'm excited


    UPDATE: hated it. oh my goodness hated it. such a disappointment. I found the constant flickering of the 'days' tres irritating, the voice over annoying and zooey deschanel's character..bordering mental?
    Some parts were funny yes, but it just didn't work for me, not enough of a plot and not really a good ending. And I don't mean that I wanted everything to work out perfectly blah blah happily ever after, but it just bored me.
    Glad some people enjoyed it though!
