Ok. I was totally disappointed by this movie. I've heard so many great things about it, none of which really added up--in my opinion, at least. The plot in this movie was very dry. Boy falls in love with girl...they do dirty things together...girl is flaky and noncommittal...yet still does dirty things with boy...girl randomly gets married to another guy...boy wallows in his self pity for 75% of the movie....boy meets new girl. Overall, I felt that the character development was very superficial. I found maybe 3 things humorous. That's a total guess, but you get my point. There were sexual innuendos galore. I'm not even sure what this movie is supposed to classify as; chick flick? If it's supposed to be one, it totally fails at it; comedy? Same story; adventure? Some who read this post may think "well you've just never had a bad breakup yourself. You don't know what it's like." Have I been in a bad break up? Yes I have. Did I enjoy this movie? No I did not.
Ok, to be fair, I will point out the good things about this movie. It does match well with reality, unlike many other chick flicks seem to do. Well..I guess that's all I really have to say about that. Point of this rant: If you haven't yet seen 500 Days of Summer, don't waste your time.

I agree with you. My wife and I kept hearing what a great movie this was. Then we saw it and were pretty disappointed. I think it just has that "indie movie with a cool soundtrack" appeal.
ReplyDeleteCall me a sucker, but I'd way rather watch a feel good movie or something more intellectually stimulating.
I am so glad you saw this movie before me and saved me the time and money of not watching it! Sorry it sucked so bad though
