01. Adam Brody is basically the cutest thing ever, second only to John Krasinski. It would be nice if someone would give cast him in non-Seth Cohen roles, but one takes what one can get. I mean, he wasn’t as amazingly neurotic as Seth Cohen or even remotely as geeky, but there was still that really strong Seth Cohen vibe that, while loving it, kind of makes you feel like he’s just playing himself all the time. So basically he’s like Jack Nicholson.
02. You know how there’s always that one really creepy kid in elementary school who can flip his or her eyelids inside out? That’s what Meg Ryan’s upper lip looks like. A word of warning to all you kids: collagen injections are not your friend.
03. I don’t understand how these people can be so open with each other so instantaneously. I mean, I’ve been in situations before where complete strangers will tell me really personal stuff that I have no business knowing, but it was always in situations where I was pretty much guaranteed to never see them again and/or that I would never in a million years remember them. This isn’t the sort of stuff you casually tell your next door neighbour upon meeting them the first time.
04. Loved the grandmother suffering from dementia. When she said she was 133 years old, I just about died.
05. Boys crying on screen make me cry, and I don’t often cry at movies (which makes Audrey angry). The first scene where Carter’s girlfriend breaks up with him is OMG SO SAD as poor sad Adam Brody’s eyes well up with tears and you think you should just give him a bath and make up a cup of hot chocolate.
06. I haven’t really figured out the point of this movie. It’s not a rom-com; it’s like a romantic dramedy, sort of. I don’t know. It’s just sort of there. It’s not brilliant, but it’s not awful, either.
07. Carter’s extended ire for Colin Farrell was hysterical, especially when he worked it into his children’s story.
08. We saw the trailer for Across The Universe and although nothing has changed since I last saw it, it looks freaking amazing on screen — at least the last twenty seconds that isn’t about obnoxious teenage idealists does. I’ve heard they’re making huge edits to the film, so I’m starting to worry about it slightly.
