There are none. Manic Pixie Dream Girls are juvenile fantasies.

manic pixie dream girls are sexist.

Not that anon, but I though it was good. As a study on alcoholism it's definitely competent. As a drama it's a little incoherent, Aaron Paul might as well have not even been in it. MEW is good though.

>aaron paul might as well have not even been in it

Completely agree with this.

As much as his character might have been overshadowed by BC in BB, MEW makes him look like a negligible side character.

Everything else is pretty accurate as well. If you don't have any experience with alcoholism you might not find it interesting, but for a low budget, quickly shot indie film it's pretty good.

Probably MEW's best performance (haven't watched her most recent thing yet).

Elizabethtown, I guess?

Not very many movies actually feature a manic pixie dream girl, according the the definition that usually gets thrown around. I think there are actually more movies that try to subvert the idea of a manic pixie dream girl than actually have one. The guy who invented the term wrote an article a few years ago saying he wished it hadn't because of how often it's misapplied.

People always forget the "manic" part of manic pixie dream girl. And pixie doesn't mean anything so it's really manic depressive/bipolar but is attractive girl?
Also, the rate to which female "weirdness" can be tolerated is inversely proportional to their attractiveness. I'm sure there are a bunch of manic pixie ham beasts, why not give them a shot? Yeah, didn't think so.
