500 Days of Summer

This movie is not the norm romantic comedy but somehow I sort of like it. Movie is presented in a non-chronological order but eventually reached the 500th day. It doesn't really get messy like Heroes or Lost which probably already make some people insane. Story is simple when boy meets girl but girl doesn't really like the boy.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Tom, find him familiar but still couldn't remember which movie or drama I saw him. Zooey Deschanel is Summer, find her familiar too and I knew where I seen her, in "Yes Man" ! Summer came into Tom's life when she joined his company as his boss's assistant. Tom studied architect but somehow ended up writing greeting cards, he writes those inspirational ones, happy ones with love. Not much mention of why summer came here but Tom who believes in true love likes her.

His 2 quite goony friends McKenzie and Paul are round to give crap advice, check updates and eventually consoling him etc.

During one company karaoke session, Mckenzie let out that Tom like her. That starts his journey of extreme emotions, happy and depression. Summer didn't really reject him and started going out with him.

They are happy together, Tom show him his favourite place in the city, the ikea scene is quite funny.

Though they had a argument when he punched a guy in a pub because of her. But there is one problem, for summer, something is missing and she doesn't want a relationship.

They broke up eventually. Tom didn't take it well, the friends and his little sister started to console him. Summer quit and Tom was moved to write consolations obviously losing all happy elements. Months later, both attended a co-worker weddings and was like happy moments came back. She invited him to a party at her place. Though what he expected and what was real was way off, at the party, the sight of the engagement ring made Tom left in a hurry.

Tom quit and went into alchohol/junk food mode. One day, he set his mind to go into architect work, though didn't really goes well. At Day 488, Tom met Summer at his favourite spot, both wishes both well. Then at Day 500, at an interview, he met a girl eyeing for the same job. Her name is Autumn. 8/10
