Effffff.

She bailed on the screening to start filming some other movie.

Of course the director and the screenplay writers were there though.

In all seriousness, I thought the movie was pretty good. Rang a little to close to home sometimes. haha.

"Summer has always been my favorite season. I feel happier," the 500 Days of Summer tells Self for its August issue.

Deschanel, 29, says the fun begins on the grass. The best way to enjoy, she says, is to wear "all-green and roll down a hill." In other fashion tips, Deschanel says you can't go wrong with a hat: boaters for guys and bonnets for the ladies. For food, Deschanel suggests cold pea soup and strawberry jam.

L.A. Times Blog Review of (500) Days of Summer:

The romantic comedy “(500) Days of Summer”doesn’t come with a parental advisory. It looks and feels harmless and whimsical enough, even coming complete with a mid-movie dance sequence to Hall & Oates’ early ‘80s hit “You Make My Dreams.”

 

But don’t be fooled -- “(500) Days of Summer” has the potential of inflicting lifelong damage to young music geeks. Witness an early scene in the film between Zooey Deschanel’s Summer and Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Tom. She a compendium of adorable quirks (she name-checked Belle & Sebastian in her high school yearbook!), and he a music-obsessed twentysomething -- the guy who pulls out the Clash and the Pixies at karaoke parties but needs significant prodding to even attend one.

Sharing an elevator, Tom is too shy, too flustered and insecure to say hello to Summer. No matter – she recognizes that he’s blasting the Smiths -- a cinematic signal for a romantic intellectual -- and observes that Tom has good taste in music.

 

That is how we know this is a fairy tale, as it’s a movie moment that can forever doom those of a certain disposition. “Those who are expecting someone to hear them listening to the Smiths in an elevator?” Deschanel laughs after being told of my fear. “That’s funny.”

It's all part of the alternate reality conjured in "(500) Days of Summer," a film where a mutual appreciation of “The Picture of Dorian Gray”is cause for a love connection. The film pays lip service to the concept explored...

Hey guys, wake the fuck up.

SHE'S NOT CUTE!

yer nutso Banger. She's very very pretty...

The picture could be pigeonholed as a romantic comedy, but it's not about finding the right person — it's about finding the wrong one. It's also about the pitfalls of euphoric infatuation: how it misguides us, while at the same time driving away the object of our desire, who, inexplicably, doesn't share our heart-bursting love jones.

As far as Tom's concerned, this is the real deal — he and Summer are a couple. She declines to put a name on whatever it is they're doing, though. "Who cares?" she says. "I'm happy. Aren't you happy?"

Of course not. He's miserable. The girl of his dreams remains, maddeningly, just out of reach. He can't possess her. A buddy tries to help, talking about his own longtime girlfriend: She's "better than the girl of my dreams," he says. "She's real." Tom's not listening.

Zooey Deschanel's searchlight eyes have never been bigger and bluer than they are here, and we understand why Tom would be instantly smitten. But she's a subtle
