We are in OKC for the State School Board Convention. SO-o-o- after we set up the exhibit booth we went to Bricktown, that vibrant entertainment district, and went to a movie! Hey, its Thursday night! "500 Days of Summer" was playing and it was one of those indy movies that I wanted to see. The narrator at the beginning stated that this was a boy meets girl story, but not a love story. Very accurate! FYI: The girl's name is Summer. The story is about a guy that graduates "Architecture school" and can't get a job so goes to work at a greeting card company. Summer comes to work there and the story is about their 500 days together. You might say this is another "Chick Flick". You would be wrong! This is a very well crafted movie where Day 1 may be followed by day 405 and back again. It is humorous and thought provoking. There are few, if any, cliches' here. This is original material. Great soundtrack too and a surprising but cool musical bit in the middle of the story.
I liked it a lot. ****stars
