500 Days of Summer (2009)
2009 | Comedy, Drama, Romance
This is not a love story, that is made very clear. It is a boy meets girl story. It is a boy loves girl story. And there it diverges. Some of the best moments of this film are not in the comedy or cuteness, which are abundant, but in the darker moments of sadness and self-discovery that are painful and harsh. Amidst an amazing soundtrack, and lead performances of utter charm, this is a story about growing up. Tom wants romance, he wants love, he wants happiness. What he finds is disappointment, disillusion and let-down on every level. So, why does it feel so good? Because the writing transcends the idea of every love story ever told on the silver screen and reminds you that, in the end, Autumn follows Summer and that is exactly how it should be. Love yourself and let the rest fall away with a wistful smile.

Quirky Love Story

A modern teen romance that starts out as a quirky friendship. A mix of culture and social economic division between the teens. Finding common ground through a love of music and graphic novels.

Adorably predictable
If you love an honest to goodness love story, When Dimple Met Rishi won't disappoint. While it is extremely predictable, the characters are endearing and they will have you rooting for them the entire book.

YA love story
I remember this book being compelling for the situations the two young characters had to overcome to express their love for each other, a very troubled home that needs to be escaped, and a cassette player.

I liked the story, but didn't love the ending. I was probably hoping for an ending that could never happen in their reality. Oh, well.
