George Zinavoy (Freddie Highmore), ein einsamer und an das Schicksal glaubender Teenager, hat noch nie sonderlich viel Fleiß an den Tag gelegt. Irgendwie hat er es aber dennoch geschafft, das letzte und so entscheidende Jahr an der High School zu erreichen. In der allseits beliebten, aber auch komplizierten Sally (Emma Roberts) hat George eine neue Freundin und zugleich einen verwandten Geist gefunden. Doch es soll nicht lange bei Freundschaft bleiben - beide müssen erkennen, dass die härteste Lektion im Leben die Liebe ist... (Verleiher-Text)

An incredibly pleasant American summer indie movie, which you will only find likeable if you can cope with Freddie Highmore, who is a well-known smart-ass. You see, his character is a crazy intellectual, who lives in his own world according to his own rules and who cares about nobody else. The whole thing is saved by a strange Emma Roberts, whom I enjoy seeing in every movie where she makes an appearance. So, people say that she is annoying, but I definitely don’t have a problem with her, quite the contrary, she is very pleasant to look at. Let’s see if we get to see her in a bigger movie.

Just like The Perks of Being and Wallflower, this is an incredibly feel-good movie which will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. The did go a little overboard with all those cool philosophical questions and attitudes at the beginning. But over time, especially when Emma Roberts is on the scene looking gorgeous as always, it sets a great mood and the movie flows at a nice pace. The script is interesting, and a lot of teens will identify with it, but the ending turns out to be a classic cliché. I knew what I was in for when I decided to watch a romantic comedy, though. It may not be a memorable movie for me, but it created a positive vibe.
