I thought the first half of the movie was fantastic; the use of color, the eccentricity of Frankie, the main character, and just the general way in which this "conventional" romantic comedy added its own ticks and quirks (with an infusion of Frank Sinatra) held so much promise.
From this first half I was prepared to absolutely fall in love with this movie. The leads were charismatic and the chemistry was good and everything seemed in place. But everything starts unraveling in the second half; things happen too fast, things seem too absolute, emotions are strange and constantly changing (telling someone that you don't want a relationship with her... and then sleeping with your head in her lap and kissing her/holding her hand on the way home...) and things generally don't seem to progress rationally.
still, it was worth watching just for the artistic novelty and the amazing first half.
