Hmm, it's what we expected, a little ghey, but then again, it is a movie trailer. The verdict is still out on "500 Days of Summer," the Marc Webb directed video built on the stock boy meets girl, boy falls in love, but girl doesn't premise only with some musical interludes to be extra cloy and ingratiating to the swoosh of dreamy romance. Many bloggers seem to be over the moon over the film already, but man, it looks really precious and twee in a pretty saccharine and sentimental manner (and yes, it looks like a music video). Do twenty something men really just want to be swept off their feet too? Are you all just Ben Gibbard and dying to lay your heart on your sleeve too? It's hard not to be sugary twee when Zooey Deschanel (and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) are starring, but we dunno. Procced with excessive caution. This one could give you gut rot from its syrup.
The song in question is a remix from Australian band, Temper Trap and the track is called, "Sweet Disposition." We sound like cranks, but those blind to this films glaringly fey qualities are a little annoying. However, we will give it an honest shot free of baggage when this thing eventually comes out June 24, via - you guessed it, the indie-emo-friendly Fox Searchlight.

VERY sick of Zooey Deschanel. Just can't do it anymore.
I never understood why being sentimental is a bad thing? We all experience it at some point in our life (hopefully).
And yeah, it looks like a music video. But i'm looking forward to it.
Joseph has only been in one bad movie that I've seen so far--Stoploss, so here's hoping.
Zooey Deschanel is charming in whatever she does.
Plus, we already know that Zooey and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have great chemistry together.
I'm very much looking forward to this movie.
THAT is a horrible trailer.
"500 Days...of Summer" - give me a break, guy who is NOT Don LaFontaine.
So whats the titel of the film?
saw this movie at sundance, it's great. more like high fidelity than anything else.
It is fantastic movie. I watch it 1 year ago but still remembered the every seen of this movie. I would like to watch this movie once again.
