It's not some fabricated fairytale of true-love, but something true about love

The feeling I got from this film still rings inside me every time I think of the time of when I first watched it. After anticipating and waiting endlessly since watching the first teaser trailer* last year with "Sweet Disposition" playing in the background to finally seeing a screening, I was not disappointed. What's so great about this movie is that it is REAL, in the simplest terms it's not some fabricated fairytale of true-love, but something true about love, just like the teaser trailer states, "this is not a love story, it's a story about love." Something just as simple as that turn of phrase, I think, brings more of an audience, in, that can relate with the characters Tom and Summer. Zooey as always has that heart meltingly cute charm and excellent singing voice that just captures you where as Joseph deeply plays that hopeless romantic guy, perfectly carrying your heart through all of his highs and lows. In the end, I most definitely feel that everyone is either a Summer or a Tom, and sincerely hope people go out to see this film and embrace its magic in reality. I highly recommend it! =]...
