(500) Days of Summer


I have a girl crush on Zooey Deschanel. She is cutesy-funny-quirky-clever which is pretty much what this movie could be described as. It's like a piece of apple pie goodness.
The story basically describes the nerdy/nice/cutesy stereotype guy, Tom, falling for cool and dreamlike new girl in the office, Summer. Tom has always had the visionary dream of falling in love with the perfect girl that was meant for him. Summer on the other hand is a sceptical realist who doesn't really even believe in the concept of love full stop. But Tom believes she's it...and for awhile it seems like it is...but what happens when she doesn't return the delightedness in their romance? Rejection can be a sad tale....typically it's the opposite sex suffering in this kind of story, but boys aren't immune to the down side of love...or lust, just as much as the ladies. This film has an awesome way of showing that. It is also true to the way it is when relationships seem great and then don't go just the way you want them too...most people will relate. Plus it's funny and they mention The Smiths. I think I may have a little crush on Joseph Gorden Levitt (Tom) also, I'm a sucker for the nice cute ones.....
