I absolutely adore this film, are there any others like it?

I would also like to add that I have seen all of P.T. Anderson's films, and Eternal Sunshine (which isn't exactly similar, but has the obscure love story feel).

So I'm wondering if there are any films that share similarities. E.g.: vibrant bright colors and lights; quirky characters (I've seen all of Wes Anderson's films also :p ); awkwardness; comedic tension.

You get the idea. I'm willing to branch out into any genre, so, any suggestions?

I would definitely say that Stranger than Fiction is the closest to this in it's completely offbeat and genius filmmaking. Also there's a movie with John C Reilley, Marisa Tomei and Jonah Hill that made me think of this. It's pretty damned good too!
