    I agree this is a great movie and Def not a chick flick.
  • Mr Pat
    Didn't think it was all that good, was let down after seeing how everyone loved it. Just didn't like it.
  • KnightXC1
    Thought it was very good and well done.

    I agree. Not a chick flick and very good. Should have been one of the 10 Best Picture nominees.

    One of the more interesting interpretations of the film is that the last conversation between the guy and Zooey was in his head, it never happened and was just another way of him dealing with the fact that she wasn't "the one".

    There are certainly some "fake" moments in the movie, the dancing scene which was very funny, the black and white flashbacks of Zooey's history that was his projection of her of the perfect woman, and IMO their break-up was fake, or at least told from a non-credible point of view.

    Zooey IMO did a fantastic acting job in the movie, she didn't just play a character, but rather a character as perceived by another character.

    At any rate, it was an orginal story, filmed well.

    I thought this was a great movie as well. But I am a chick, so not sure my opinion holds much weight on this threadm
