Just saw this. I thought it was good. Cute and original. I really loved the little different details that were added like (SPOILER)the cartoon bird randomly flying onto his shoulder during the dance number after they had sex. That whole scene was great.
Here's some issues I had:
(SPOILER)I don't like that 3 months after they break up she's already married to another guy. Not just engaged, MARRIED. That's pretty quick for someone who didn't even want to be someone's girlfriend. I get the idea that she just woke up one day and knew, but come on, 3 months? Also the scene at the wedding where they were reconnecting I felt like it was real and they had a definite chemistry going. So we're expected to believe she has something even better going on with this new guy she met a couple months ago?
I didn't think the idea that they weren't meant to be together wasn't applied well enough. I felt like all the scenes where it looked like she didn't want to be with him were because she was afraid of commitment. They had such great chemistry that even in the final scene at the bench I thought she was going to break up with her husband and go back to him. They just seemed really compatible.
I felt like we were supposed to like both characters but I agree with Tom, Summer is just way to inconsistent to be likeable. If my girlfriend was acting the way she did with Tom at that wedding I would be very concerned!
In summary, I feel like she came off as whoreish, and she wasn't supposed to.
Also does anyone notice that Zooey Deschannel plays pretty much the same character in every movie she's in?
