If you actually liked 500 Days of Summer, then you absolutely have to check this movie out.
Basically:

It's about the romance between some unemployed guy and this actress he follows all over town.

The old guy from Six Feet Under plays a role in it, too.
The whole thing is packed with those gut-wrenching lines that I just know will hit the female audience right in the feels 😍

So, what do you guys think? Which one is the better love story
500 Days of Summer or this one?

Oh, and the soundtrack is killer 👍 and honestly, this is definitely one of those movies where I'm gonna end up crying my eyes out 😢

I sat through the first 25 minutes and just couldn't do it. I gave up. Honestly, Bilson is a total mess.
500 Days of Summer—it’s actually a pretty fun and charming little flick.

Man, this movie is basically just
Into The Wild😁. You either absolutely love it or you straight up hate it.

Terrible movie. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and honestly, comparing it to 500 Days of Summer is just an insult to 500 Days.

It starts off okay, I guess. He's a hitchhiker who catches a ride with an older couple, and he tells them about his life, which leads into these flashbacks of him and her...
But then things get pretty creepy.

Turns out he thinks they're in love, but she hasn't even seen him since he moved away when they were ten. She basically forgot he existed, while he's convinced they're together, following her everywhere—like when she went off to college or moved to LA, etc.
He's literally stalking her (for him, just being near her is enough). Plus, he’s got this mild psychosis going on, talking to his dead parents, dealing with anxiety... I could go on.

The ending is just awful. Unbelievable, really...

I don't get it. Did the director or writer think stalking was somehow sweet? Is that why they made this a romantic drama? ☕

Also, the dialogue is pretty bad, and that bit about the dying father felt super pathetic.

Maybe it sounds interesting when I describe it like this, but trust me, it isn't... just a total waste of time.

Comparing these two films is just wrong. 🧐

The story is lacking, the acting is a bit of a mess, and don't even get me started on how predictable the dialogue is—you can practically see every line coming.
I have no idea why people are crying; I wasn't moved by it for a single second. 🤷

Ashley Nguyen44 said:yeah, the movie is like Into The Wild
either you love it or you hate it. 😁

🙂 You're miješati way too many things here. Where did you even get Into The Wild from for a comparison? 🙂 No, there is absolutely no parallel to be drawn between these two. None at all.

I thought the lead was solid—he basically carries the whole movie on his back... I usually love Rachel, but she felt kinda cold in this one🤷

Are you kidding me? 😬
The guy spends the entire movie squinting through these tiny little eyes, and you honestly have no idea when he’s going to let a tear slip just to make the audience melt right along with him.

And don't even get me started on his fashion sense. 😳

🤣 well, it's not his fault, he was born with those eyes 😁 which basically means you probably hate all Asian actors 🤣 I think he's great and super cute 😁

I actually dig his style—he's basically living in pajamas, and honestly? Same. If it were up to me, I wouldn't take them off either.🤣

I don’t have anything against Asians, and I’m not looking to start any drama here.

He’s honestly not an ugly guy and has great eyes, but it's pretty obvious he’s trying to overcompensate for a total lack of acting chops. He's clearly trying to manufacture some kind of depth, but it just isn't working. I couldn't buy what he was selling if I tried. 😳
