::500 days of summer


Saw this on Saturday. Zoey is a little bland. The story is a little cliche. But it's totally worth seeing!
Not as good as Garden State (imho) but definitely a great movie to check out. The complaints I heard before seeing the movie were all about the "kitschy/too vintage" look to the sets/costumes. I honestly didn't notice it too much (aside from inside the office where Tom works). You all know I'm a sucker for a depressing movie, so I'm a little biased. Joseph Levitt-Gordon delivered an excellent performance of pseudo teen angst/romantic idealism that only tip-toed around being too annoying.
The story itself was cute and way more realistic than most "romantic" stories. But as this movie says, It's not a Love Story. It's a story about love.
4 out of 5.
