Hands-down best romantic comedy i've ever seen.

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 2011)

i'm a hopeless romantic at heart, much like our hero Tom. He's convinced true love is out there, and when he meets Summer, he knows she is THE one. The non-linear way the story of this couple unfolds is brilliant, it is quirky and sweet and smart without trying SO hard (i.e. Juno) or being obnoxious about it. This is one of the most heartbreakingly realistic portrayals of a relationship in any film. Two people can care about each other, but want different things and just fall apart. I came to despise the character of Summer by the end, she was hypocritical for telling tom time and tome again she wants to be on her own and doesn't want to get bogged down in a serious relationship, and then ends up getting MARRIED. Not cool. But everything ties together in the end, with Tom meeting his true soul mate only because Summer pushed him to follow his dream. I was sobbing like a baby by the end. Great performances all around, I can't believe it took me almost two years to see this movie!
