  • OtterStratton, on 08/05/2008, -0/+2"In his My Year Of Flops entry on Elizabethtown, Nathan Rabin coined the phrase "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" to describe that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that "exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures."

    Just in case you were wondering wtf a Manic Pixie Dream Girl is.

    As an aspiring writer, I realize guiltily that I've used more than a few of these characters in my works.
