P. C. I Love You. I liked it. Lots. Reminded me a lot of Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, minus the madcap fillip business. Anyone else dip into this sweet, melancholy little number?

I'd like to see this.

It meanders, and i'm no fan of Joaquin Phoenix, but i thought it was a moving (almost profound) film, and I would fall in love with Scarlett Johannsen's voice, too.

I couldn't suspend enough disbelief to go along with this one. I kept hoping Joaquin would drop the phone in water.

The movie is practically a documentary in its portrayal of a society that relates better to its machines than to its people. I know plenty of people having love affairs with their phones.

I get the concept. But Lars and the Real Girl handled similar material better, IMO.

I like a good Gosling turn, too. And Lars deserved a little more attention than it initially got. But, come on, Fairy.

I'm not telling you not to like it. But I just didn't. It had an interesting premise, but as Vic said it meandered. Plus it didn't seem to know where it was going after a while. Since I'm a straight woman the admittedly sexy voice of Scarlett Johannsen didn't help me get through this one.

Since I'm a straight woman the admittedly sexy voice of Scarlett Johannsen didn't help me get through this one. i presumed this was the difference in our responses to the film, i just didn't want to reduce it to that. But yeah, that's probably it. I can listen to ScarJo read a grocery list and get a woody, so Joaquin's response seemed entirely plausible to me.

"ScarJo"? Is this what the world has come to?

I liked it a lot. It also felt like a more real reflection of today's society than other movies I've seen this year.

Good flick. There is some great dialogue and Phoenix's performance is top-notch. I'd have given him an Oscar nom for this one. I understand TMF's take, though...there's a lot of sci-fi going on. But like any good sci-fi flick, this one holds the mirror up to the truths of current reality. Jonze has only directed four features? I'd have to say this one is my fave.
