Slowly creeping into the minds of the American public (or to the Michael Cera fans) is the latest Sundance entry hopping onto screens everywhere, Paper Hearts. A lot of you might be wondering what this film is about, even more so whether or not to care about it. Apparently people already have been giving a hoot and a holler about this flick being coughed out by Paper Heart Productions, having already gained attention when showcased at Sundance this year by winning the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and nominated for The Grand Jury Prize.

Charlyne Yi does not believe in love. Or so she says. Well, at the very least, she doesn’t believe in fairy-tale love or the Hollywood mythology of love, and her own experiences have turned her into yet another modern-day skeptic. PAPER HEART follows Charlyne as she embarks on a quest across America to make a documentary about the one subject she doesn’t fully understand. As she and her good friend (and director) Nicholas search for answers and advice about love, Charlyne talks with friends and strangers, scientists, bikers, romance novelists, and children. They each offer diverse views on modern romance, as well as various answers to the age-old question: does true love really exist? Then, shortly after filming begins, Charlyne meets a boy after her own heart: Michael Cera. As their relationship develops on camera, her pursuit to discover the nature of love takes on a fresh new urgency. Charlyne risks losing the person she finds closest to her heart. Combining elements of documentary and traditional storytelling, reality and fantasy, PAPER HEART brings a fresh perspective to the modern romance and redefines the classic love story.

Starring Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera, and directed by newbie Nicholas Jasenovec, this film seems to give a refreshed outlook on love via the comedy genre. Take a look below at the trailer. If interested to know, Paper Hearts will be released nationwide on August 7th, so keep this film fresh in your mind when it opens towards the end of the bustling summer season.
