500 days of summer

So, first of all, I want to start by saying that romantic movies, whether in the comedy or drama genre, are without a doubt my least favourite type of film. But as I was watching The Geek Show last night, they were spewing off their top 10 films of 2009, and surprisingly, this movie was on most of their lists.

So I thought to myself late last night, can so many awesome Geeks be wrong? So I watched it....

And, to my pleasant surprise, I really, really liked it. Funny, original, great acting performances ( especially by the guy that I can only remember from that alien show on TV in the 90's....alright Zooey was good as well)

The best part, for me, was how cleverly they get your attention from the opening credits...

"This film is fiction. That is what i consider Jenny Fleckman. Bitch."

( or something like that, I didn't buy it so i can't remember verbatim, but it was hilarious, and a perfect premise to the movie. And besides, who hasn't had a Jenny Fleckman?)
