See, here's the thing: I love movies. Films are a fantastic method of provoking thoughts and ideas. In fact, sometimes they are so excellent that they can change the world. Well, at least change how people perceive their world.
Not this movie.
Now, generally I like Ed Harris. I even kind of sort of like Zooey Deschanel. And Will Ferrell has his moments. This movie has about one moment. That's it. It's supposed to be about how some chick (Deschanel) had a father who was a famous writer and turned her into a brat, but after her mom's death she goes home to try and find correspondence between her dad and her mom because she's going to sell it for a lot of money. Instead, the trip changes her life. It was also supposedly a "Two Thumbs up" film by Roger Ebert.
They're wrong.
This film is emo.

Seriously, you can avoid it. I'd say that if you're a fan of Ferrell, watch it. If you're a fan of Zooey Deschanel, meh, watch it maybe. If you think she is a sweet, girl-next door type, don't watch this movie, as she has sex with random strangers and drops quite a few "f"-bombs.
Instead, listen to this song:
This song is much better than this movie. It'll make you much happier than this movie will, and this song is kinda emo. Well, it's really emo, but it's by my favorite band, "Taking Back Sunday." They're great.
Not this movie. Please avoid this movie.

Russians, contact me ASAP.
