w-o-w good stuff

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2010)

This movie is so good, extremely well written also.
The scene where Tom defends Summer's "honor" and she is less than impressed by his actions is the breaking point in the relationship in my view. Summer sees Tom being brave for her but not for himself (work)....
For the most part the gender roles are reversed here with the female being the strong one and the male being lead on a leash. With the exception being Summer's honestly, and Tom's vanity (once she knows me her mind will change).
Tom never does anything wrong, like a lot of us, however he lacks that wow factor and by being more into her than she is to him the pain he feels we feel like is our own because he deserves more than he is getting (emotionally at least). Wanting someone and them wanting you is different than wanting someone and them putting up with you, which so frequently happens. The reality of this film is astounding and at a minimum at primer for life in the big city.
