A unique and creative teen romance that stars the unusual but the adorable lead, Charlyne Yi. Interviewing people across America documenting their stories while at the same time possibly falling in love herself. Part real, part set-up, and anyone who can tell fact from fiction sh...( read more)

Your like or dislike of this movie will depend greatly on your reaction to Charlyne Yi including her style of comedy and music. I find her quite funny and her music to be brilliant, which made for an entertaining film for me.

Cute movie, love the home-made animations, a shame the love story was faked though. I don't know why Charlene Yi makes me laugh, she just does. She has awkwardness down to an artform I think !

at first it was cool. the idea- the "documentary style" about love. by the end it gone pretty boring and kinda annoying at the same time. why cant she admit it. isnt it painful for the guy your dating to hear that you dont love him or something like that? right? which reminds me ...( read more)

I don't understand the mixed reactions to this movie as i thought it is brilliant! The whole behind the scenes of a documentary setup was a unique approach and i think they nailed it. Michael Cera was Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi equalled his gimpy, teenaged awkwardness so much...( read more)

Michael Cera is great but his girlfriend is one of the most annoying people ever put on film. Also I liked the documentary aspect of it but hated the fake love story. Why not make it just a straight documentary drove me crazy.

Quirky charmer that melds documentary about finding love with a fictional love story between co-producer and star Charlyne Yi and actor Michael Cera playing themselves. Hilariously funny in some spots, deeply poignant in others. Ultimately very satisfying. Great soundtrack also!
Critic Reviews
Paper Heart is like a really special five-minute YouTube clip that goes on for an hour and a half. full review
Paper Heart is a cute movie, a little too cute and a little too aware of its own cuteness. full review
Even the most cynical are likely to be won over by the unassuming charms of Paper Heart. full review
Still, the stylistic games reflect Yi and her generation's larger dilemma. Paper Heart is a movie that can't commit about people who don't know how to. full review
Your appreciation for this shaggy dog project will probably depend on your enjoyment of Yi as a screen presence. full review
Enjoying this wondrous wisp of a something is easy, describing it is hard. Luckily, Charlyne Yi is an enchantress. full review
A quasi-documentary about love that is sweet, true and perhaps a little deceptive. full review
