I don't know what it is about this movie, but for some reason I found it to be so entertaining and look so foward to watching it again. You now what I think it is? It's the fact that it looks at relationships in such an incredibly real, I mean real way, that it's hard not to just be like wow, this is crazy true! I think that for anyone who has ever been in a relationship or is currently, that they can find something about the movie that just really hits home.
The movie follows this guy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is an amazingly attractive, great actor who did really well in this part) who falls for a girl named Summer (Zooey Deschanel, also incredible as the kooky leading lady, but of course she remains charming as ever). It follows the ups and downs of their somewhat bizarre realtionship in such a funny, yet sad way that you can't help but feel for Levitt's character, Tom, throughout the whole film. The reason they experience such a rollercoaster of a relationship is that they have different views on there really being that one true love for everyone in the world. And this huge difference between the two of them results in humorous, true-to-life instances that just make for a perfectly, off-beat type of movie that will pluck at your heartstrings.
Now I don't exactly know if I would recommend it as a first date kind of movie (it might look at realtionships a little too in depth for that budding relationship), but I do recommend that at some point everyone, even guys, watch this movie. It has a lot to say and point out about the forever confusing relationship between a boy and a girl, and it ends on the perfect note.
With my high recommendation, please go and watch 500 Days of Summer.

I agree with your recommendation. It is a really good movie. If you liked this movie, you should consider watching Adam.
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie, so much. I really enjoyed how it was such an anti-romantic comedy, but it was still a romantic comedy. There are no more inventive romantic comedies out there like this on, there's just awful movies like The Proposal out there, which I cannot stand. I love great romantic comedies like 'Annie Hall' and 'When Harry Met Sally', but we rarely get any movies like that
ReplyDeleteOh I think I've heard about Adam...I believe it's on my "watch list".
ReplyDeleteWhen Harry Met Sally is one of my favorites!!
500 Days...Oh my. I concur Dr. I absolutely loved this movie!!! You really kind of feel bad for Tom, but at the same time there's not anything anyone can do to help him.
I also adore Zoey Deschanel, one of my favorite actresses.
I didn't really like this movie because I thought it was gonna be a cute love story but it wasn't :/ I hated that they never got back together because I thought Tom was going to get her back.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm the kinda person that likes romantic movies with happy endings.
