Hipster boy meets hipster girl. Hipster boy loves hipster girl. Hipster girl DENIES hipster boy. (hipster boy becomes hipster emo boy?) Their relationship is painfully awkward at times and I can't tell if it's Zooey or Summer, her character. Is Zooey a bad actress or is her character supposed to be flat and spacey?
Another question: Why do Tom and Summer always go to the movies? Is it because they want to escape their life together and are yearning for a romance that only happens in the movies like 'Sleepless in Seattle'!?? I have not seen 'The Graduate' so I am missing that reference in the movie.
It took my bf and I a while to figure out in what city this movie was filmed. We thought it was a more urban, older city, like Philadelphia or Chicago, and we were a bit surprised to find out it was LA. This movie doesn't show the typical LA shots - the beaches, plastic girls, the 'Hollywood' sign - and it was completely refreshing to see another side of the city.
My favorite scene was towards the end of the movie and it was the rooftop party scene that compared 'expectation' and 'reality' side by side. You have to see the movie to know what I am talking about.
Wise words from the 12 yr old: Look, I know you think she was the one, but I don't. Now, I think you're just remembering the good stuff. Next time you look back, I, uh, I really think you should look again.
