This week we flashback to 2009 for (500) Days of Summer, a romantic movie with a male lead twist, that doesn’t hold up? We are a bit split on this one, with Lauren and I waning, while Jon and Ben are rising. We praise the filmmaking, Zooey Deschanel, and debate whether Tom is terrible, terribly written, or just terrible on purpose. A fun film to revisit, and one everyone enjoys, we just might not be as high on it as we were a decade ago…
