500 Days of Summer
Two Saturdays ago, husband and I had a debate on what movie to watch first – 500 days of summer or the blind side. I downloaded the blind side first but since an officemate told me 500 days of summer is good – we both chose the latter.
500 Days of Summer is an offbeat romantic comedy about a woman who doesn’t believe true love exists, and the young man who falls for her.
It narrates the life of Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a trained architect who works as a writer at a greeting card company who fell in love with Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel) assistant to Tom’s boss.
The film has romantic twists then and there and it doesn’t end on the usual “and they live happily ever after” style of a romantic movie. In fact, husband who has been laughing on some part of the movie was somewhat disappointed on its ending. While I find the story cute, I mostly envy Summer’s slim figure – seriously! She has a body that doesn’t need some weight loss pills that work!
