The end message of the movie makes it worthwhile. But my overall impression was mixed. A nonlinear story works for some movies but not this one. I didn't find that it helped the story---detracted from it actually. Was the hot and cold relationship because of their personalities or because of where we sampled them in the arc of their relationship. Some cute sequences felt borrowed (Amelie). I did like the split screen sequence of Expectation and Reality. It is worth seeing.
