They'll Name A City After 'Us'



I've been recommending (500) Days of Summer, one of my favorite flicks this season, and the feedback has been glowing so I figured I should share it here.

Maybe you've seen the trailer and brushed it off as another twee, indie rom-com, but it's so much better than that.

It follows this couple (Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) in their late 20s and tells the truth with humor and a soundtrack that burns. There's no meet cute (they meet at work), no tired set-ups, and no neat happy ending.

Check it! Bonus: For fashionistas, you'll get a kick out of how the wardrobe director uses vintage wares in a palette of blues on Deschanel to help mark her personal progression.
