synopsis here.

Henry Roth (Billy Crudup) is an obsessive-compulsive & somewhat misanthropic writer of children's books. His illustrator and only friend, Rudy (Tom Wilkinson), dies after a fabulously successful collaboration on their series of children's books about "Marty, the Beaver." Henry is under contract to produce another Marty book for Christmas sales. His publisher, Arthur Planck (Bob Balaban), assigns penniless, lovelorn illustrator Lucy Reilly (Mandy Moore) to work with Henry. She's sought by her ex-boyfriend Jeremy (Martin Freeman), who dumped her two years ago but shows up apologetic, having dedicated his new book to her. She and Henry go to a house on the shore to work. Will love bloom amid the rocks, or is Henry a bump on Lucy's road to Jeremy? Rudy's voice, from the grave, gives Henry counsel.

relationships. especially with an eccentric like Henry Roth. its hard. an author and an illustrator, how much more better can it get? 2 different people who complement each other. so different yet so similar at the same time. although it was not love at first at first sight, they grew on each other, they shared their hopes and dreams despite the harsh conflict they underwent throughout the movie. but before Henry and Lucy began their relationship, Henry engaged in small talk by talking about his little eccentricity and out-of-the-norm characteristics.
it allows the other to understand us if we explain our little quirks to the other person. we can grow as a couple, as individuals. we share dreams, we share emotions.

"without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of tomorrow."
