Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn't.

Tonight my friend Marisol and I went to the Dole Theater to see "(500) Days of Summer".
I had heard such good things about this movie from my friends Beth and Brett, so I had very high expectations going in to see the film. And I can gladly report that my expectations were definitely met, if not exceeded!
The movie has a great way of telling the story in an off-beat way. I don't want to give away too much of the movie, so just go and see it (if you haven't already)!
Joseph Gordon-Levitt does an amazing job and completely embodies the character of Tom. Zooey Deschanel is impossible NOT to fall in love with in the film. But, just like Marisol said as we were walking out of the theater, this movie just goes to show why guys sometimes seem to be SO CONFUSED about women. Poor guys, we do make it so incredibly difficult for you at times. And for this, I apologize.
I kept trying to determine if I was "Tom" or "Summer". I have to say that I have been both at different points in my lifetime. :) (Curious? Go see it and then you will know!)
On a side note, the people that were at the same showing with us tonight were NOT laugh-out-louders! Marisol and I kept laughing out loud at parts that were obviously funny, but sometimes, we were the only ones! Why? It really was funny, people! Laugh! We didn't even have drinks before the movie - we just sincerely thought it was funny, so we laughed out loud. The laughs were well deserved. None of those people should be using the acronym "LOL", because they didn't. Sad for them.
Go see it before it is out of the theaters, or go right now and add it to your Netflix queue.
Yay for a great movie with a great friend!
Me ke aloha,
RAWE
PS - "He's some guy she met at the gym with Brad Pitt's face and Jesus' abs." LOL
