A Valentine To Los Angeles

From DNA:
""500 Days of Summer" was clearly written by people who either studied architecture or hang around with a lot of (L.A.) architects. It's not only that the main character is depressed former architecture student who is now writing blurbs for greeting cards (he explains that he'd rather be writing words for permanent things like greeting cards rather than designing impermanent things like buildings -- possibly a comment on current debates in architecture circles), but the picture seems all shot in downtown L.A., and in the beginning Zooey Deschanel's character says she's so happy to be living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

The two leads find the most romantic place in L.A. are the benches at Angelus Plaza overlooking the bottom of Bunker Hill, from which perch the former architecture student can point out all the old buildings he loves. An enjoyable romantic comedy to boot, sure to please all the double architect couples I know."

I loved the movie, especially the IKEA scenes!!
