It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I've only seen this movie once, so my interpretation might be a little off, but it seemed to me to be an allegory of the price of fame, how famous people, in American popular culture in particular, are often driven to suicide. Of course there are a few holes in my theory: Julian never sought fame himself, but the relentless media attention (the group of children who followed him around), the riches and free stuff he received, and the boredom of a small town (representing America in general) has nothing better to do than make a celebrity out of an ordinary person. And finally, the callousness of the people when they drive him to suicide sums up the allegory.Forgive my interpretation if it's wrong... but those were just my ideas.

Reading the back of the box at the video store I work at, I saw Julian Po listed as a romantic comedy. This is extremely not true. The only romance involved was Julian and Sarah suddenly falling in love, because Sarah was certain he was the man of her dreams, even though she had just met him. The only funny thing was the people of the small town- they totally pushed him into saying he was planning on killing himself. > It was an interesting movie to watch, but pretty depressing. I don't think I would rent it again.

Poetic, tragic, pathetic, funny, and romantic do not do this movie justice. A great and subtle piece of film-making with great performances and a splendid and unobtrusive soundtrack. There are no easy answers. There is no Hollywood ending.... See this movie!

This movies has wonderful elements of drama. The Tragedy of life and the human perspective on death.This movie has a subtle dark humor about it, and in fact that is the only way to describe the ending.
