The tag line for this movie is
This is not a love story, Its a story about love
It was so true to. I honestly thought that was a way to take you off guard and that there would be a surprise ending that would make you say "Oh I never would have guessed!" Well that last part was true, I never would have guessed this movie would have ended the way it did.
Before I watch a movie I always go into it opened minded. So with this one I knew it was going to be a complicated mess which it was and anyone who knows me, knows I enjoy stuff like that. However this movie left me feeling both happy and sad at the same time.
So a Caution to anyone who watches this movie, don't think there will be a curve ball ending cuz their isn't.
This story is a about a boy named Tom. Tom Believes that there is such a thing as love at first sight and that he has been waiting his whole life to meet the girl of his dreams.
One day Tom meets a girl named Summer and thus begins our story.
Tom is completely taken off guard when he meets Summer and that he is convinced she is the one he has been waiting for his whole life, in a sense she is his soul mate. Summer however does not believe in soul mates.
At this point in the movie your thinking that she will eventually change her mind about that little detail, that's what I thought anyway, but no she doesn't. Summer likes Tom and from square one she has told him she isn't looking for a serious relationship, that she wants no pressure. Tom however is looking for that one thing in his life he has been missing and he believes that is Summer, so he is taken back by her request and hopes eventually that she will change her mind and fall head over heels for him, but she dosen't.
So in this movie we take a trip in the (500) days that Tom is in love with Summer. I won't go any further than what I have already told you. I want you to see it for yourself.
I would give this movie at best a B-
Don't get me wrong, the actors did a great job. However the story could have changed a little in my opinion.
