The movie, at first, wants you to believe this fact, by presenting you with an architect working as a greetings card writer, who is a broken man. That is why, when he meets manic-pixie-dream-girl Summer, a woman who shares his love of The Smiths, Tom falls head over heels in love with her.

The first half of the movie is then just a montage of all the wonderful parts of their relationship. But then, seemingly out of nowhere, Summer breaks up with him. Tom is inconsolable, his work suffers from his depression and he struggles just to get out of bed.

A chance meeting with Summer, now engaged to be married, finally starts to make Tom realise how wrong he has been. Tom never loved Summer, he loved the idea he made of her in his mind, and he only remembered the good parts of their relationship.

This realisation is what Tom needs to finally save his own life, without the help of the perfect woman. But the ending of the movie just shows that Tom hasn't really changed when he meets Autumn, another emotionally distant dream girl. Ending the movie with the impression that once again Tom will pin his hopes and dreams on another woman.

What a way to end a movie.
