When putting good stuff in a movie doesn't make a good movie

Rating: 1/10 (16 June 2013)

When I watched 500 Days of Summer, during the first 20 or so minutes of the movie I thought I had a great find. It was like the characters really had something in common with me. Too much, I understood when I looked closer.
It was like the creative team had brainstormed on what is cool with the current generation's intelligent youth - not being members of the generation themselves. Like creating a product for a profitable market. Instead, they got a movie that had nothing natural or convincing about it.
The idea is, if you look beyond catchphrases and the music the characters listen to and the rest of "decorations", 500 Days of Summer is actually Twilight for hipsters.
Hence the grade - 1 out of 10.
