PAPER HEART follows Charlyne as she embarks on a quest across America to make a documentary about the one subject she doesn't understand: Love. As she and her friend and director Nicholas Jasenovec, together search for answers and advice, you get the idea that this new generation's cynicism isn't the whole story. On their journey, Charlyne talks with an eclectic array of friends and acquaintances, including scientists, bikers, romance novelists, and children. They offer diverse views on modern romance, as well as various answers to the age-old question: does love really exist?

Shortly after filming begins, Charlyne meets a man after own heart, Michael Cera. As their relationship develops on camera, the pursuit to discover the nature of love takes on a new urgency when she risks losing the person closest to her heart. Combining elements of storytelling, reality and fantasy, PAPER HEART brings a fresh perspective to the modern romance and redefines the classic love story.

PAPER HEART was directed by Nicholas Jasenovec and co-written by Nicholas Jasenovec and Charlyne Yi. The film stars Charlyne Yi, Michael Cera, and Jake Johnson as Nicholas Jasenovec.

yeah.. the fact that it isn't real but they keep making references to how 'real' and 'uncomfortable' it is in the trailer is dumb. a show like the office works as faux doc because you never really know the crew or what's happening behind the camera. because if you thought about it for a second it would be stupidly implausible how long they've been filming/how many places they've gone beyond the boundaries of a doc.

Charlyne is amazing... I'm glad she's got this going and knowing her personality (exactly what she's like in this movie), I'm really looking forward to this.

I can understand the trailer not looking good to some, but I'm excited.

They have officially killed the indie romance genre.  R.I.P.

haha... no, she's just really funny and I am a fan.
You're right though, if I didn't know the people involved are really funny, this trailer would probably make me cringe... and maybe it will be bad, but as it is, I'm excited about seeing it.
