Movie Review: 500 Days of Summer

Alright - I had a mixed first impression when I saw the previews. I was like "Bah Romantic Comedy/Chick Flick that is pretending not to be..."
But it was an Indie-ish-film. Being a movie-nerd, I had to see it.

Plus...my two besties wanted to go see a movie and they seemed to want to see it [last time I'd see them before college will eat me] - and so I went.

I was half expected sappy...but...it wasn't.

It was cute. I instantly fell in love with the main character - instantly feeling for him. The co-lead, Summer [Zoey D.] was pretty epic, herself. I loved the format of the movie. It didn't start at the beginning and end at the end...well it ended at the end - but the rest was all muddled up. It jumped around the 499 days [mostly 1-early 400s] and really gave an interesting narrative to the movie. The angles were nice - normally zooming too close to the subject, than the average film is daring to go. Overall - it left me in a good mood - and I would recommend it to a group of girls, couples - and guys that want to see an interesting movie that is about two things:
•Love
•Controlling your life

It's artfully done, and probably one of my favorite movies. When I hook a college boy, we are so watching it again...probably it'll be on DVD then xD
