actually i have watched this movie at the beginning of the year. it's on my top ten movies for now :))
the story basically about a guy, tom hansen (joseph gordon levitt), and a girl, summer finn (zooey deschanel), whose having different perspective on relationships. tom is a romantic and completely fooled by the graduate when he was a pre-teen who also listening to british pop music. summer is at the point where she doesn't believe in love at all.
the movie keeps back and forth from their relational ups and downs. and the whole story is told from tom's perspective. but don't worry, you won't get confused cause it has the informing event whether it be day 500 or day 1.
the soundtracks. well, i gotta say it's quite unordinary. but i recommend mushaboom - feist; please, please, please let me get what i want - she and him; us - regina spektor.
now, my favourite part :))
