Too many storylines!!!!!

If you had to pick the storyline of the film that you wanted to see which would it be:
-Thomas and Lily's budding young romance

-Mr. Wexler and Enid's relationship which began in grief

-The relationship between a teacher and a student could it work and the interoffice relationship

-The young love and all it's twisted elements or Caroline and Thurston

-Or a young woman dealing with her new school by becoming a major bitch.

Cause all these themes didn't work in this one movie

Are you kidding? That was the whole fun of the movie! Every time I got sick of one thing it would become something else. I actually watched it a second time and liked it even more. Got more out of it. But I think it worked perfectly and things wrapped up well.

I have to agree with changmurakamireader & it did an excellent job with it, it wasnt too much.. it was busy but not too busy.. It worked well, kept you interested and wanting for more and the stories closed by the end of the film.. if you could not keep up, that's on you.. Some films do it and it's truely too chaotic, that is the fault of the films creators, DDN on the other hand, it all stayed in sync, clicked well and ended quite satisfying.

They had alot of storylines and they didn't tie up every loose end, the teacher and the gym coach will they be together, the two parents who bonded over grief what happens to their romance and who threw those damn rocks. In my opinion it was unfinished and almost was too convenient an ending.

Just one of those story lines would have made it like 100 other films that were just so-so. This film was incredible, what a surprise.

We didn't need to know what happened with the gym teacher, who cares. Josh Lucas' character changed, seemed like he finally got past his wife cheating on him and went after somebody closer to his age, and she accepted so that was pretty closed. The two parents had a connection but they wanted better for their kids so they probably let their kids date instead of them because then they'd be like step siblings. Or maybe not, but who cares, that wasn't the most important part of the film. As far as the rocks I forgot about that, I think that was more of a metaphor unless I missed clues as to who it was. This movie was great as is.

Best movie I've seen this year.

Too many storylines? Definitely. But here's a classic case of somebody breaking all the "rules" and making it work.

Very compelling film that never quite goes over the top and holds back at just the right moments.

And who can watch this without falling in love with Kat Dennings?

Watching this film is a wonderful surprise. Tell your friends.

that's cause it wasn't *beep* twilight or runaway bride, where all characters get coupled up and married, if you try to overtell something you *beep* it up. The film had the right measure of telling a story. It shows that this guy actually went to film school unlike most idiots who make movies these days.

"Too many storylines!!!!!"

You know, there's a lot of comic book movies Hollywood is putting out, you might want to stick to watching those.
