I saw this movie at the time and enjoyed it enough to read the book, by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, that it's based on. I think, however, unlike Juno, which Cera appeared in the previous year (and which I own and rewatched coincidentally last week), this hasn't aged as well. The clichés and oh-so-hipster '00s energy stand out more. (I was already middle-aged back then, so it's not like I've grown too "mature" for this movie or something.) And for covering less than 24 hours, it sure makes a hash of its timeline. There are still some sweet and mildly amusing moments though, and I didn't mind a rewatch today, although I'm not bothering with the vast bonus material. Peter Sollett directed.
