Plot 411: A girl goes on the road with a team of documentary filmmakers to find out the meaning of love and finds love along the way.

Review: Charlyne Yi plays a character of herself in this faux documentary about love. She and her director Nick (Jake Johnson) travel across America and interview people to get to the truth of love. Charlyne the character isn't one who believes in love and doesn't know if she's capable of it herself. During their travels, they meet Michael Cera at a party. Charlyne and Michael hit it off and their blossoming relationship is incorporated into the documentary. Cameras follow them around and film their every move as Charlyne continues on her quest to find love. This was an interesting piece of work that blurred the lines between reality and fiction. While Yi and Cera are real people, they're also actors playing themselves. The concept is intriguing and reflects the current culture's obsession with reality TV. There are also some great scenes depicted with the use puppet-like figures. Totally cool.

Watch It: You're looking for a quirky rom com for the hipster generation.

Skip It: If all of these hipster flicks are getting on your last nerve.
