By Since Napoleon Dynamite came out, there’s been more than a fair share of “quirky” indie films made. One such film, Me and You and Everyone We Know, was an honest look at love, relying on honest emotions instead of quirkiness for the sake of it. One of that film’s associate producers, Suzi Yoonessi, took her talents to Alaska for her feature film debut, Dear Lemon Lima,.
The trailer, which you can see on Film School Rejects, depicts a young girl yearning for her true love’s hearts. Of course, quirky is as quirky does, as there are unicorns and awkward scenes (a little girl on the toilet? Really?). However, it’s interesting to note that it’s from a female perspective that we don’t normally see in most quirky indie films.
What do you guys think? If you listened to our special Valentine’s Day podcast, you’d know I’m into quirky girls. Dear Lemon Lima, could possibly be very cute and heartfelt… or it try too hard and not be fun at all. The official synopsis follows the break if you wanna know more. While the film debuted in 2009, it’s receiving a limited theater release on March 4, 2011.

The synopsis, provided by the film's Apple website, reads, "Vanessa gets a dose of reality when Philip, her one true love, ends their relationship, again. The quirky teen enrolls in his school to win him back, but ends up making matters worse. Downgraded to social outcast, Vanessa struggles to reclaim Phillip's affection. Luckily, when Vanessa is declared a captain for the school's Snowstorm Survivor competition, she assembles a team of likeminded misfits to prove they deserve to compete and hopefully win her love's heart again."
