That aforementioned struggling writer Wilson ends up placing a personal ad on Craigslist ("Misanthrope seeks misanthrope"), and his buddy sends him off, all scruffy looking and faux-casual, on a date. With many varieties of condoms, because, well, it's Craigslist, so you never know what might happen. Turns out one of the first things the girl on the blind date does is pray. And her prayer? "Dear God. Please let Wilson know that he's not going to get in my pants." The girl ends up being cute and crazy. But the amount of crazy is just what Wilson was looking for, apparently. They run around the city and even go to her apartment to clean out her stuff so her ex-boyfriend (who she broke up with "last week") doesn't burn it all up (long story, I'm presuming). Then we get the New Year's Eve countdown and it looks like Wilson finally gets his kiss.

This has hints of Woody Allen, with its quirks and tics and its spotlight on a tiny ordinary situation in the world. Oh, and it's black and white, which for some reason makes it all the more charming. But it also has hints of that too-cute-for-words issue that made Juno sort of annoying. Such as: Cute blind date girl takes bongo drum lessons, which I don't think anyone in the world does in real life. It's one of those things you see in a movie and you either love or you think, "This is trying way too hard to be clever." And the movie looks like it could be filled with those moments.
