The breakdown: An irreverrant romance story about a boy that falls in love with a girl that he works with; told in sections broken apart by days, though the days don't run in chronological order.
Tom falls in love with a girl named Summer at his office. She doesn't believe that true love exists and says she's not really looking for anything serious. Tom is not deterred by this, he is sure he wants to spend the rest of his life with this woman. They end up starting a romance and the movie takes a look at how it develops, how it starts, and follows it through. It's definitely focused on Tom's perspective of things as all characters are basically background to him.
I found it to be a very realistic, the most realistic, love story, I've ever seen portrayed on film, and it's very honest. I could certainly relate to it and found it touching, funny, and insightful.
If you love a good story, you should see this one.
5 out of 5 for being the most accurate portrayal of a love story. It's one of my favorites of all time.
