A romance for guys

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2009)

And by that I mean that the movie exposes romantic feelings through the perspective of a guy. He finds this girl, Summer, hence the title of the movie, falls for her, and has 500 days of ups and downs because of her.
The movie starts a little off, with a narrator explaining what is what and a silly counter going back and forth over the 500 days, but it slowly grows on you, with the little bits of graphical re-rendering of some scenes and the good soundtrack and the feelings portrayed as they usually are, raw and strange, not something ridiculous and standard like most crappy romantic comedies these days.
What I find strange is that I had a very similar experience in my life, yet I could feel no kinship with the guy. Something was off, yet I don't know what. Maybe the feelings were slightly altered so that they fit into more of a comedic atmosphere, or maybe it was his face, or maybe it's just that it was actually a completely different story than mine.
Bottom line: it's funny, it's real, the wife loved it and I found it nice enough to watch and thoroughly enjoy. The moral of the story: girls with big light blue eyes are trouble... ;)
