500 Days of Summer


This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.

This movie may be my all time favourite. I love the feel, style, music, and most of all the actors. Zooey Deschanel is my favourite female actress and her and Joseph Gordon-Levitt complement each other very well. The soundtrack defines the kind of music that I love. Everyone should watch this movie.
