Watch if you want to be DEPRESSED & ANGRY

Rating: 1/10 (23 July 2011)

**May contain spoilers** For a movie that got so much hype and "love," I was shocked to discover for myself how worthless it is. The writing is terrible. There's nothing positive I can say about it. Her name is Summer (Deschanel's character). The title contains her name. OK, fine. Thought it was going to be more significant than that. The 500 has parentheticals around it...why? Trying too hard to be quirky? That's what I thought. Every scene look contrived. Every thing in the movie was unrealistic. Nothing happens the way the movie depicts it. There is an implication there is depth to character and story, but there is no real depth shown. Tom's friends come off as lame-no way I'm buying those 3 are buddies. As much as I like those actors, the writers did a terrible job of character creation. That goes for most all characters in the film. The Bollywood number came out of nowhere and really messed up any sort of mood the film had set, although, there was no consistent tone, it was all out of place. The non-linear order of the film made the film choppy and honestly, the average viewer is not going to keep up with a film like that, especially mindless drivel like this one. Perhaps the only thing about the movie that tries to redeem it is Deschanel's cute karaoke performance. The film only captures quirkiness, but never comes to own it.
