Summary
Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Tom, a pie-eyed aspiring architect biding his time at a greeting card company. It doesn't take long before meeting his boss' new secretary, Summer Finn (the luminous Zooey Deschanel in an underwritten role) before he decides that she's the One, and therefore key to all his future happiness. Tom is ardent and enraptured, but she's still hesitant and withdrawn. Until one night ...
Basically He's Just Not That Into You for boys, (SOO) Days of Summer jerks back and forth, occasionally criticizing Tom for pinning all his hopes and dreams on an obscure object of desire who probably isn't everything he assumes she is. Just like that greeting card job he's wasting away at, she's not really what he's meant for, but attractive enough and available at the moment.Despite (SOO) Days ofSummer's cloying affectations and annoying pop-culture references, there's still something energizing about a youth-targeted rom-com devoted to the idea that sometimes shit just doesn't work out and people aren't going to live happily ever after.See the full content of this document
