It was awesome. And strange. I don't know what to compare it to, because it was very tender in the romance aspect, and odd to call a romantic comedy, plus it dealt largely with social politics. Political Romance?

The two films that come to mind, based on the *feel* of the movie are

1) Crash...if there happened to be a couple that almost falls in love somewhere in there.

2) Closer. Only because there was a song in the beginning that I loved instantly, and sounded Damien-Rice-like, which was then also repeated at the end...similar to the way "The Blowers Daugher" was used to open and close the film Closer.

Afterwards, I went crazy trying to find out who sang the song (of which, the bits they used were mostly female vocals) so imagine my surprise when I find out, the song in fact is by Damien Rice--which actually includes Lisa Hannigan, the woman who sings on both of his albums.

I rememeber being confused one other time, by hearing a female singing a kick ass cover of "Sweet Dreams", and the artist credited as "Damien Rice", since you barely notice a male singing back-up vocals on the track.

Though apparently Lisa has left "Damien Rice", so maybe she'll have some solo material to eventually look forward to.
