I really would like to see Deschanel tackle something different like a period piece or a mother role. The role of Summer is a little different for her, but the character is too elusive for her to really shine.

This type of film’s not really for me but I can definitely respect that it’s not another Failure to Launch style romantic comedy. I might check it out with the girlfriend at some point, although she’s generally harsher on these kinds of films than I am.

Poor Deschannel and her quirky role choices. And to think, she was gonna play Janis Joplin. Can’t get much quirkier then that.

“Zooey Deschanel never officially signed on for the role of Syracuse. Everyone involved in the production took for granted that she had been cast; luckily, the actress showed up unprompted on the first day of shooting. “I just assumed I was in it,” she later explained.”

Lol.

LOL, this was my favorite “award” from the SA imdb entry:

The Royal Tenenbaum (Best Eliot Smith montage, 2008)

I’ve also noticed how Zooey Deschanel plays apparently the same quirky love interest in every film these days, something Something Awful latched onto with a hilarious fake imdb entry (below) on an ‘upcoming’ indie dramedy with Deschanel, Michael Cera, obscure bands and plenty of hoodies.
