I can not describe how badly I want to see "500 days of Summer" which was released a few weeks ago in mid-July. Though its only in select theaters which means for atleast a few weeks the only way to see it is driving to Baltimore, which will be worth it. Its one of those witty romantic comedy movies which has been compared to Elizabethtown, Juno, and Almost Famous. I will be extremely disappointed if the movie ends up being anything less than fantastic. One of my favorite actresses, Zooey Deschanel, stars in this movie so thats number one on my list of reasons to see it. Reason number two, the soundtrack for this movie is fantastic featuring artists like Regina Spektor plus Simon and Garfunkel. Reason number three, the plot is more eclectic and cynical than most rom-com movies.
i love how the narrarator describes the movie in the trailer, "This is not a love story. Its a story about love." Which segues into the plot which is about a guy named Tom falls in love with a girl named Summer based on the fact that they are both into the same unique sorts of things. Tom is a hopeless romantic, while Summer doesn't believe in the concept of love or soulmates.
