trite with colored lenses

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2009)

Shallow, gimmicky, trite teen-angst film that takes place in Los Angeles that somehow manages to make 500 days of weather there look like it takes place in Seattle! Matter of fact the entire film looks like Seattle. Enough with the colored lenses! Even the sunshine is dark. I didn't believe a single line in this script. It's loaded with film clichés. There is little truth to the characters and especially the situations they get into. The male lead is completely unconvincing as an architect grad working as a greeting card writer. I guess the writer thought this would be cool. Every scene is written that way, not for any truth, but for the writers idea of what would be cool. And while your at it, lose the narration too, it doesn't work.
