Although this Sundance feature has already been heard by some of you out here, the premise and the utter sweetness of this semi-love story has convinced myself to finally put it up. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, the story follows Tom as he chases after his dream girl, Summer, who doesn’t believe that true love exists. Directed by Marc Webb, a music video director up until this point, this film bursted out at Sundance creating a lot of mainly positive hype. The script was penned by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, both of them already sharing screenwriting credits on films such as Steve Martin’s The Pink Panther 2. Take a look at the colorful off beat film below:
The film is set for a limited release, once it finishes its festival runs, coming out on July 17th. For more updates on this film and many others, keep your eyes locked here on Atomic Popcorn.
Because of my admiration and adoration for Levitt and Deschanel (seriously Zooey, call me), I’m compelled to see this. The trailer, however, gives me pause. There are some good moments and some very odd ones that hopefully will work in the context of the rest of the film … if it’s just a bunch of indie-street cred, then I’m going to be very angry to see these two actors’s talents wasted.
