There was a time early in the film when I thought that maybe the writer (Zoe Kazan) was trying for a cheap knockoff of Stranger Than Fiction (which I adored). Unlike that movie the narration is constant during scene changes and then later in the movie the narration happens in scenes. And then it all starts to make sense - she wasn't trying to re-make that movie. In fact there were several times halfway through the movie when I said to myself that there were so many ways that the story could go because of the excellent storyline.
The movie is actually a very fresh take on male insecurity. Men say that they want a woman that can think for themselves and are not afraid to be their own person when in reality the truth is often very different. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also had to laugh at reading one of the reviews here as the reviewer said that "About Time" (another great movie) popped into their head. I had the same experience.
