TRAILER: Let's Have Quirky Teenage Sex in a Whimsical Pool of Tears in Submarine

Our own Christopher Rosen (who I affectionately call "Crose" or "Croze" or "Croseanne Cash," in case you were wondering) reviewed the UK trailer for the cute-ass Sundance fave Submarine before, and since then, it's gotten cuter. In this new-ass American trailer for Richard Ayoade's directorial debut, romantic kiddies enjoy quirky sex with each other and remain tolerable while doing so. Put on your hip Serge Gainsbourg-theme condom and hump along.

The twee leanings here should scare you. There's a boy who listens to "French crooners," jumps in a pool while wearing a suit, and tries romancing the cheekiest girl in the world. It's Youth in Revolt without the revolt. Normally that'd be disgusting to me, but I'm charmed by the otherwise affect-free humor of these characters and their -- oh, how to put this? -- _AcCeNtS!!!. So cute! Intelligent-sounding! And adorable! I'm from Illinois.

Bottom line, this is going to be a harmless comedy with heart and a mild Wes Andersonzi scheme. There's enough subtlety and strange, believable chemistry between our glistening young lovers to supersede atmospheric cliche, and I hope this turns into a beacon of sincerity for a "genre" of film with only a few bright spots. (And I'm including Youth in Revolt, dammit!)

Also: Sally Hawkins is in this. [Heels clicked.]

Verdict: Tying my cravat and jumping in the deep end!
