"Think Annie Hall, or more recently 500 Days of Summer." Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine gets Deckfight'd. And likes it. A lot.

We want to thank the fine crew at Deckfight for their most kind and thoughtful of review of Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine. For an excerpt feel free to just read on and for the full review, well, you know, just hit the link. Cool?

"Repetition is important here, so important that I didn’t realize that it was central to Ben’s writing strategy, which initially made me loathe it a bit. At first, I didn’t get the threads like “Geoff finds Paul and asks him if he wants to spark one in the alley behind the office. They spark one.” Ben was being kind of glib and stupid in an effort to be too ironic and too flat, but the humor came to me and by the end of the book, I got the trope and looked forward to it, especially advice from Descartes the management guru. And then I got it or think I got it. The office scenes were routine and everyday in light of a possible, life-altering, non-routine relationship. What was thought initially to be routine eventually became something beyond the routine, but it all started in the routine. And that routine expanded beyond just simple office scenarios, but also into how Geoff and Jen date, their old routines influenced by habit and family and friends. Everyone has dirty laundry and it must be sorted through. "

An awesomely coincidental Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine (500) Days of Summer casting intersection.

Some time back we were asked to cast the still unoptioned, unscripted and unproduced move version of Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine by StoryCasting.com and when we did we couldn't imagine a more perfect pairing for the lead characters of Geoff and Jen than the very awesome Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the freakishly lovely Zooey Deschanel. Imagine our surprise and excitement than when we read about the new indie break-up "it" movie (500) Days of Summer starring none other than Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel in the lead roles. Coincidence? Maybe. Next project? Hopefully. So, Joseph and Zooey please have your people call our people and we will be happy to do lunch at Nate and Al's. Also, please note our newly re-configured version of the (500) Days of Summer move poster above. Sweet, yes? Totally.
