Humorous details can't cover up a fragmented plot

The major plot twists in this movie are particularly abrupt, such as the boy living with the girl, the boy falling out with the father... There is no premise in advance, the feeling of watching the movie is definitely ups and downs, ups and downs .
What can still give people the pleasure of watching the movie is the clever and humorous little details and the playful and lively scene switching, but the director seems to love these details so much that the details affect the backbone of the narrative. For example, in the film, the boy's father calls the girl's house and invites the girl to live with his son. Then, when the scene changes, the boy's voice-over says, "This life is more than ten years." This kind of humor has the ability to make people smile. , but it also has the ability to create holes in the film itself.
Movies are full of such clips, and there are bound to be problems with the structure of the movie. This is like a novice drawing a sketch. Before the shape is ready, he starts to draw some parts carefully. When the drawing is complete, he finds that every part looks like a model, and the proportions are seriously out of proportion.
In addition, the emotions of the hero and heroine depicted in the film are also self-talking, and it is difficult to see the value and merit of such emotions (there is absolutely no intention to insist on any moral position here).
I ended up giving it a 3 for the humorous details and the recurring tune La vie en rose.
