500 Days of Summer is a romantic comedy that both of the guys were surprised to like quite a bit. It tells the story of two young professionals who both bring something great to a relationship, but in the end, for somewhat unexplained reasons, the relationship did not work out for them. However, 500 Days of Summer is not a story focused simply on the love between the two main characters, but rather how each person develops into the man or woman they were meant to become in the midst of their rollercoaster ride of a relationship. Listen in to this week’s episode of Parallel Quest as the guys discuss this movie and the way in which it has influenced and informed their own perspective on the dating life of young professionals looking for love.
