Paper Heart

Hmmm... THAT was a quirky little trifle... Not as funny as I expected and not as involving as I hoped, but the theater was air conditioned...

Co-writer Charlyne Yi ("Knocked Up" and "Cloverfield") plays a stand-up comic named Charlyne Yi who sets out on a quest to discover what constitutes "LOVE." She conducts live interviews in a quasi-documentary style in supermarkets, malls and private homes all over the U.S. During the course of this quest, she encounters Michael Cera ("Superbad" and "Juno") who plays himself. They become a couple, temporarily, even though she still insists there is no such thing as "LOVE."

Co-writer/director Nicholas Jasenovec has cast Jake M. Johnson (lots of TV and "Redbelt") to take his role. From the setup, it is clear that our writers hoped this story would have a much different ending, and in my opinion it DOES lack resolution, but... if it is really hot outside and the theater is air conditioned...
