Definitely worth seeing. Excellent performance by Zooey Deschanel (Failure to Launch & Elf), whom I find very compelling, has a great smile, and appears to be very much 'what you see is what you get' (I don't know if that's true or not). And also Joseph Gordon-Levitt (see my Lincoln review). And there are some lovely scenes.
But it is not easy to watch and takes you through the roller-coaster of emotions of the stages of romance (which is essentially the point of the film). I like to go to a movie to be 'transported' to a different reality and away from my own for a couple of hours. I got to the two-thirds point and forced myself to watch it all (and I think I'm glad I did... I think).
If you like either of these actors, it is worth seeing as one or both of them are on screen for 80% of the movie. But I'm not sure I'd see it again.
