Paper Heart (2009)

Director: Nicholas Jasenovec | Rated: PG-13 | Review date: 11-Jan-2010

Charlyne Yi wrote and stars in this little quirky pseudo-documentary about discovering the many wonders of love. Aside from interviews, the film attempts to take a more dramatic turn when Yi becomes involved with actor Michael Cera. I found this angle of the story to be slightly boring and uninteresting. Both Cera’s and Yi’s acting felt unnatural and made them seem a bit drab on camera. I would have preferred this film had been an actual documentary as the interviews, even the quirky little puppet shows in between, were cute and touching and greatly overshadowed the faux drama.
