I was doing a little Sundance movie browsing on this beautiful Saturday morning and came across this little gem. Besides the fact that I think Zooey Deschanel is beyond talented, the song in this trailer is in fact, one I just posted on this blog --- The Temper Trap "Sweet Disposition" --- I told you it would be a big one ...
Like Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris of Little Miss Sunshine, Marc Webb is a commercial director who came to Sundance to make good -- and did in a major way, when Fox Searchlight picked up this terrific anti-romance with major box-office potential. Joseph Gordon Leavitt gives his most mature performance yet as the office hack who falls for Zooey Deschanel -- and she, in turn, more than makes up for The Happening. The script, full of flashbacks and flash-forwards, is a whiz-bang showcase with the verve and speed of one of last year's best films, Reprise. They had us at hello, with the hysterical preface: "Any resemblance to any real people living or dead is purely accidental. Especially Jenny Beckman ... Bitch."
