(500) Days of Summer (Marc Webb, 2009)

6/10
Okay movie but I was expecting a bit more, given all the hype it got upon its release. JGL is good but, as usual for a Zooey Deschanel character, there are moments when you just want to reach through the screen and smack her. I also found the chronology jumping to be more gimmicky than anything else. Couldn't the story just have been told straight? What did it add to the movie, aside from a cutesy "angle"? All that said it's a pretty good (and true enough sounding) story and there are some laughs, so it's not a bust.
