2) No way in hell would someone pursue that girl looking all jacked up the way she did in the beginning.

3) Her bed looked surprisingly inviting, and I went to Overstock.com to seek out dusty rose comforters immediately after the movie was done.

4) Chick was kind of an asshole. I mean really, getting pissed because he got a boner when you were on top of him?

5) Gave it a 3 star rating after instantly viewing on Netflix. I gave 500 Days of Summer 4 stars, which I watched immediately before.

6) I liked it.

I think as much as this movie is about the sexual damage done to Palka (and it's very much about that), it's also about self-destructive behavior, particularly of a relatively passive variety.

There's no way of telling, but I'm thinking Palka was abused or raped at a relatively young age (maybe slightly older than the childhood pictures she looks at). And I don't think she became an extreme introvert overnight. Instead, over time the immorality of what had been done to her sank in, along with the injustice of no consequences for her father, and probably a lot of guilt and shame. By the time she was an adult and supposed to take care of herself, it became much easier to just accept dad's money and stay in the apartment. And let's not forget that she was absolutely accepting his money. He was able to control her without exerting any real force. Essentially, she allowed herself to get in a tremendous rut.

Ritter engages in pretty similar behavior. At the video store where he seems to get all his socializing done, Martin Starr tells him he's not easy to talk to. He lives in his car when it seems like his boy at the store would definitely offer a place to crash or some money until he gets back on his feet.

So they both hide out in places where they are comfortable and static, something I think the movie argues isn't really healthy. The big scenes do largely take place outside of these realms, outside of their comfort zones. Even the scene at the ice skating rink where she tells him off for the umpteenth time. It's not a big step forward in terms of what was said, but I remember feeling like she was speaking more clearly at that point and seemed more human.

Often a lack of different locations is simply a result of a low budget and ends up hamstringing the whole movie (Next Day Air), and I'm sure that money was a consideration here as well. But I think this limitation ended up becoming an important part of the story.

But the first time he sneaks up to her apartment, I couldn't help but replace the soundtrack with the theme song from Beverly Hills Cop. Go back and try it yourself, it's perfect.
