Read post at your own risk. You have been warned.
A while ago, I remember looking down a list of movies and spotting this very movie title. At that time the only thing that attracted my attention was the lead actor, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I always admired his acting and his choice of movies to star in, (which are mostly indie films) which is why I decided to keep this movie in mind. Eventually, I saw the movie due to a friend's recommendation and it exceeded my expectations.
Personally, I don't care much for romance flicks because they always have a similar happily-ever-after plot which is fairly predictable. This movie some how had a different approach to love, a more genuine approach. This made the movie shockingly relatable to me which is why I'm so hooked on it. God knows the countless times I've done the same things Summer has(though none done with bad intentions in mind). I guess you could say Summer's idea of love is a mirror image of mine. Shes' very pessimistic when it comes to love and even questions its very existence.
I also loved the fact that the comedic approach was subtle and yet it seem to fit into everyday situations unlike most hollywood movies.
And ofcourse, Joseph's acting was great. This movie actually showcased many of his talents, some I didnt even know he had. What I always love about Joe(other then his acting) is his many expressions, especially his smiles; his boyish smile, the smile he gives off when shy, his sarcastic smile, his seductive smile..the list just goes on (in short: i love guys with infectious smiles). Goosh, how he has grown. I love the fact that he hasnt lost his boyish charm and yet has grown into a man.Personally, I don't care much for romance flicks because they always have a similar happily-ever-after plot which is fairly predictable.

Here's a short clip thats' cute but yet funny.
Joseph Gordon Levitt through the years...The music used in the film is also another plus to the movie. I loved it so much that I had to download the whole album. I think my family must be complaining behind my back because I keep listening to the same damn songs over and over again..hehe.
Though, I've watched the movie twice already, I had to watch it again when I heard it was out in the cinema. It was worth the while, I must say (well, except for the censored parts...WTF). And...I still can't get enough of the show!!! I AM SO GONNA GET THE DVD!!!:)
