(500) Days of Summer (2009, U.S.)

I have never been more wrong about how much I'll like a movie based on the preview. It was pretty awful. A sweet, adorable, wonderful guy falls in love with a stupid, horrible, shallow bitch. Errr, girl. This was reinforced by the fact that I've always loved JGL and disliked Zooey Deschanel.

There are some interesting elements, such as when JGL busts out into a cheerful song and dance in the middle of the street and everyone dances like it's Bollywood and cartoon birds fly around the air. It's priceless. They also attempted to use flashbacks to illustrate how Summer was never interested in Tom, and he was misreading the situation. The only problem was that it was already painfully obvious the first time the scene was played.

This is a case of a great idea with terrible execution.
