An honest, touching, well-acted analysis of a failed relationship where the two broken halves emerge into
separate wholes. It’s one of those rare films that feels tailor-made, uncannily seeming to read my mind as it
played out on screen, but more likely it’s because the feelings of both falling in love and apart are universal.
-Chemistry between real-life friends Gordon-Levitt (who recently, really impressed me in Brick) and Deschanel.
It’s a tour-de-fource for Gordon-Levitt who runs a gamut of emotions, even tossing in some song and dance.
-Piles of quirky, funny moments, most due to a gender reversal where Tom is the sappy believer in true love and
destiny, while Summer is aloof and non-committal (similar to Notting Hill and High Fidelity). Instead of Judy
Greer, Tom’s support system is made of two guys who look like Steve Buscemi and Curtis Armstrong.
