Summary: Willie (Tom Sturridge) has a lot of love with a girl, Emma (Rachel Bilson) from her childhood and decides to reveal his feelings for her by traveling back home. Things are complicated by the seemingly delusional ways of Will and Emma's dying father and cheating boyfriend. Will is also a bit off including his love for Emma who has no idea he has been following her.

Review: Sturridge had some talents in this movie and makes an appeal as a broken yet kind man. Bilson was satisfactory. The movie had some humor and I only wish the beginning of the movie was a bit stronger. The movie was a bit darker, but it did have a sappy ending though.

Further Question/Philosophy/Theme: Is unrequited love the worst? How does a mind become broken? Can a wanderer with few possessions really be a right way to live?

Power Rating (Out of 5): 2, I'm glad I trudged through the movie. It was a slow watch in the beginning and didn't start to make sense until the end. It had some decent acting by Sturridge, but the beginning of the movie was very slow. It took a while to develop as things didn't make taht much sense until all the pieces were put together throughout the movie.
