I would recommend this movie for its dialogue. Its a very quirky movie. Anyone watched it. If not, go do it!

It maps most closely the wrangling of emotions from a guy's perspective of never knowing love to becoming obsessed by it. This contrasting a girl who is poised in never knowing love and it’s okay. Throughout the movie, this guy wrestles with this reality that there is never going to be a relationship with this gal whom he thinks is the ONE. This gal is just going to like him for now.
The flashbacks and flash-forwards are clever and reveal how our emotions can take us to places in our own mind that have no connection with reality. We've all been there and if not, just wait...

i thought this was a terrific movie. i laughed, got sad and smiled during most of the movie. i thought the storyline and the way they told it (with the time jumps) was interesting so it's not so linear like some of the other "rom-coms" out there like the ugly truth (horrible) and love happens(generic). it's fantastic! i give it 4/5 popcorns!
