"They have four eyes, two mouths, eight limbs that wrap around themselves. It's disgusting!" Arin says, as we see images of couples throughout New York City. "But I can't help but envy them." Arin is a wannabe filmmaker and highly inexperienced with love, despite the fact that he spends most of his time editing wedding videos. In one of the most populous cities in the world, he is alone and tormented by the beautiful women he sees everywhere. He turns to the Internet. Susan is an art school graduate working as a waitress and suffering from a lack of inspiration. She receives a message from Arin, but since she's tired of dating, especially online, she suggests that he should just stop by her work. Arin is too shy to introduce himself. So instead, he follows her home without her knowing and emails her pictures of her mundane daily trudge. She is intrigued. They decide to meet up, but in an attempt to keep their interaction interesting, they make a pact to not speak to one another. As their romance develops, they only write, draw, email, text, have sex, instant message, and make videos for each other. No talking. Susan's creative clouds begin to lift, and Arin's dry spell has ended. Unfortunately, a new world of more complicated problems is discovered, and they are forced to deal with intimacy as they meld together and create a monster. -- Official site [More]

While some audience members will dismiss it as so much navel-gazing, those closer to their 20s should appreciate how the movie speaks to a generation whose most intimate communications routinely come through the Internet.

Charming homemade movie is a surprisingly successful experiment in collaborative creativity.

A semi-autobiographical docudrama which is the first film to convey the nature of dating since the advent of MySpace.com.

The movie spends much too much time on Buice and Crumley's pathetic backgrounds and neither actor is up to the demands of the script.

There are some amusing moments, but then the fun wears off and you're left thinking, is that all there is?

This innovative chronicle of a truly modern romance conveys, in a painful, darkly humorous way, a variety of ultra-identifiable truths.

Fascinating if overly self-involved Slamdance entry is among the few U.S. pics that deliberately smudges the line between non-fiction and invention.

This diaristic relationship drama by New York video artist Arin Crumley and animator Susan Buice is so playful and imaginative that only at the very end... does its narcissism become off-putting.

In the realm of modern romantic movies, this one hits all the right spots and it makes it hurt so good.

A fresh, witty, and contemporary take on the perennial boy-meets-girl story.
