I walked out of the movie and could not for the life of me decide if I liked it or not. That was the first thing that came out of my mouth when my friend asked me, "so?" It did not follow a traditional time line, it is one of those movies that you know right from the start you'll pick up on ten times more things the second time around, it did not have a "happy ending" and I didn't find the lead all that endearing. I found myself irritated while the credits rolled. On my drive home I thought I would stop thinking about it and find peace but it kept bugging me. It was not until this morning over oatmeal (the best part of my day by far...lol) that I figured out why this flick threw me for a loop. It was too realistic. It didn't pick out the good parts of the relationship and splash them across the screen right along side the honeymoon phase that always seems to last, no, not 4 months but from love-at-first-sight all the way to the altar! Rather than it being a fairytale, it was all of it; firsts, fights, fears, and falling outs...
Anyways, I just thought I'd share what kept me bugged for the past few days. What is more disturbing really is that fact that I was that shook up by something that too closely resembled reality. That doesn't sound too healthy does it? Ha.
On a different note, a happy birthday (yesterday) is in order and but I didn't post yesterday so it's only semi-belated :)
happy 21st birthday kaylee!!!♥
i hope it was everything you hoped for, you deserve the best! xoo.L

weird a chick flick thats real haha...thats why i hear this movie is brilliant and really good. you are looking at your troubled thoughts backward. its not bad that it bugged you so much, its good that you are noticing that life is hard work, you know? thats healthy. its not the fantasy that most hollywood paints it to be.
Saw this movie with my ex this weekend [we have a f'd up relationship lol]. I totally agree with you - i walked out thinking wtf? Not a good movie but not a bad movie kinda feeling. Def entertaining but in the end I was like what? What's next? 500 days of AUTUMN? hehe...
