500 Days of Summer

1 out of 5

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn... I was

expecting a lot more from this movie, but it's whack!   I took

my woman to see this and we were both like

DAMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!  The

writing is annoying.  It was trite and full of stock characters. 

Yo... there was a part with some cool animation, and another

part looked sort of cool, but I'M NOT PLAYING.  THIS MOVIE

IS WHACK.  Money isn't everything, but I'm bummed to have

spent bread on this damn movie.   

 

Lame things in the movie

- Zooey Deschanel's character is named Summer

- She likes The Smiths

- She says her favorite Beatle is Ringo

- She tries to shock you by saying she had a girlfriend in college

- They get a porno movie and that is supposed to be shocking.

- His friends are stock dude characters with formulaic dude views

- His kid sister gives him advice, and she even tells him to stop being puss at one point.

- They live in really fancy houses with no roommates, AND they have high ceilings.

- They act the fool in IKEA

- There is a dance scene after this dude finally gets laid.

- There is symbolism with the color blue to represent Summer's character.

- The girl he rebounds with is named Autumn.

 

From the start, the bitter text on the screen makes it

clear that this movie is written by a V (a virgin).  It's

very one sided.  Summer has no life as a character. 

DAMN IT.  It is never explained why she moved to LA, what

she wants to do with her life, or what her life was like in the

past!  All she says is that her life was boring before,

and that her parents got divorced so she doesn't know

how to chill with one man.

 

Come on man DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

 

There is one part where the dude goes onto the bus and sees

Summer taking up every seat.  I think it would be fun to run into

that situation and start a crazy food fight, or spray champagne

all over them like you won the championship game.

 

This dude Gordon-Levitt is trying to be an architect in

the movie, but when he tries to draw a building all he

can do is draw one of the twin towers.  He's WHACK! 

His character is puss.   I would like to see the Summer

character tell this story.  She probably just moved into

town and hooked up with some guy because she was

lonely.  When she realized that he was really needy she

moved on and he didn't know what hit him because he

never really listened to her anyway.  In reality this

relationship probably lasted for a month.  Whatever. 

 

 

When somebody doesn't like you, it's useless to pine

over them.  If you really have a such a deep connection

with somebody, you should be able to tell when they

don't like you!  If you really care about a bird, sometimes you

have to let it fly out of the cage; if it comes back to you, then

you know it's real.  I learned that in a DMX song. 

Whatever you do, don't be like Gordon-Levitt and try to

prolong something that does not work.  When one person is

not excited, it's always best to move on and be with

somebody who's into it like you are man, for real.  Don't

worry, you can do dorky stuff with them too. 

 

So in conclusion, this movie is busted as hell, for real;

and they need to chill out, becasue it's messed up.
