Paper Heart

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1331064

It is late, and I am tired, so please forgive this if it rambles.

I can't remember exactly when or how I heard about Paper Heart but I know it was in the last 2 weeks. I added it to my netflix queue and then hurriedly watched whatever movies I had so I could get it as soon as possible. Right now, I can't even remember why I wanted it so badly! But yesterday it came, and tonight I watched it, and now I totally love Charlyne Yi. I am not in love, but I love her. I want to hang out with her. I want to go see her shows. I want to buy her music. I don't want to have sex with her, but it's like I want to date her.

The movie is about Yi's search for the meaning of love. Along the way they do real interviews with real people, as part of the documentary that Yi is working on. However, they have scripted parts between her and actor Michael Cera, where they meet and start to date. It becomes half movie, half documentary, but whole awesomeness. It is very sweet, and precious, and I'm very glad that I watched it.
