Paper Heart

So I can't stop watching the trailer for this movie.

It stars Charlyne Yi (the one girl in the "Knocked Up" stoner crew) as the subject of a documentary focusing on her lack of belief in love. As they travel the world, and her celebrity circle, the director (Nicholas Jasenovec) and Charlene explore the concept of love and her doubts.

One of their stops is with comedic charmer Michael Cera, who becomes fascinated with Charlyne and her story. So much so that his interest turns into relationship. And what was a documentary about a love cynic becomes a cute little story about budding love.

This makes me both smile and cringe.

I don't know if i would call myself a cynic* per say. But I would say that I do the following:

- say "if" i get married rather than "when"
- scoff at people who gush over a first date
- remind friends that relationships have a 99% failure rate

That being said, a documentary examining someone who questions love is right up my alley. But imagining it turn into a love story makes me wonder; When I see this movie will it give me a change of heart (no pun intended) and say "awww" and smile, or will i sit there with arms crossed thinking "et tu brute?"

I guess I'll have to wait and see this summer.
