500 Days of Summer

Film Three – 500 Days of Summer.” Absolutely loved it. Everything about it worked, and worked well. Zoeey was incredible. The writing was sharp, and witty. The cinematography was beautiful, even the soundtrack was prime.
“Summer” was essentially a romantic comedy for dudes. It presented a relationship horror story that every guy could relate too. I found myself putting a girl from my own life in the female character position, and she fit the ups and downs, and ultimate depression of the relationship with eerie accuracy. All the guys I saw it with said the same thing happened with them. It was almost tough to watch, because it often felt so real. What was so memorable, and makes this film unique was that it had very playful and experimental bits throughout. There was a ridiculous dance number in the middle of the film, and countless quirky moments. But it all worked, and left me and my friends who’d seen it wanting to watch it again. Luckily, for everyone at home, this film was studio made and will play in limited release in July. You’ve got to see it. I mean, you just must.
