Halfway through this, I couldn't help thinking "This feels an awful lot like a Nick Hornby movie" (eg High Fidelity or Juliet Naked). And, lo and behold, what do I see in the credits...
So it's basically exactly what you would expect -- man-boy with a particular obsession who is forced to grow up by the love of a good woman. Fine if that's your thing, otherwise ignorable. This particular version of the story plays up the Rom-Com angle a lot more than High Fidelity or Juliet Naked, which I guess makes it a better date movie, but also a rather less interesting movie.
I think there's scope for many more movies in the "obsessive" genre, but the Nick Hornby template has probably been taken as far as it should go; time for something from a different direction (like Whiplash).
