I'd like to think hanging out with Natalie Portman would cure whatever ails me.

If you like the maniac pixie-girl role then you'll enjoy this movie.

I'd save it as Date Night type of movie, I didn't care for it but it's like dramedy-porn for the ladies.

only 2 of those movies involved assassins, and they both involve quirky love stories

Good luck exploring the infinite abyss

One of my favorite movies.

When I saw it, I really related to the main character.

It's a pretty good movie. Biggest issue is that it's a little too self-aware that it's a quirky indie film. Some of the scenes seemed to be "quirky" just for the sake of it.

I'm shocked at the love for this movie on here. I was pretty sure it would be despised. Regardless, CP3LSU25, I demand a duel. NP's character is my soulmate.

But seriously, it's a solid flick that hits a lot of the right notes. It's emotion-evoking without being gross and it's absolutely hilarious if you appreciate its style of humor.

It was occasionally cute, and I loved the soundtrack, but I don't agree with the love it's getting here. Not a funny movie and I didn't like Braff's character at all.

It's a top 5 movie for me. Really loved it.

Changed my taste in music from straight alternative 90's to indie.

Excellent use of the Shins, but Zach Braff has great taste as heard in about every Scrubs episode.

In the "smart comedy" genre, not as good as Lost in Translation or Royal Tennenbaums, but better than Adventureland.

I really liked, It's Kind of a Funny Story.

Loved it, but I'm a huge Zach Braff fan.

Wish it was out on BluRay in America so I could buy it.
