Usually, I'm pretty blah about summer movies, but this year I am totally STOKED. Maybe it's because the recession has dashed my summer vacation dreams, and I don't have much else to look forward to, but I just can't wait to see some of these. What summer movie's got you peeing in your pants with anticipation?
Away We Go
Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida are two of my favorite writers (they also happen to be married), so you can imagine my excitement when I heard they had teamed up and written the screenplay for this movie. And if that weren’t enough, Sam Mendes directs it, and John Krasinski stars in it. I just might squeal.

AH!!!! I’M SO EXCITED FOR THISSSSSLAJLJDLKAJDLKANCN!

I know! The anticipation is KILLING me!!!

I know! Must change that asap.
Vendela Vida's "Let the Nothern Lights Erase Your Name"
A great read. I HIGHLY recommend it.
Dave Egger's "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius"
This book definitely has its critics, but if you’re a 20 or 30-something, it’s sort of required reading.
The Hangover
I thoroughly enjoyed Old School (I’ve loved Vince Vaughan ever since Swingers), but after hearing all the buzz about Zach Galifianakis in this movie, I think this might just take ridiculous male comedies to a whole ’nother level.

-
Yes! Yes! Yes! Can’t wait.
-
After reading up on the initial buzz I think this is actually going to be better than I thought. It just might be this summer’s Knocked Up.
-
Still need to see this…
The Hangover Trailer
Even if the funniest parts of this movie are in the trailer I’m seeing this anyway. It looks redonkulous.
Whatever Works
I’m a big Woody Allen fan, and thanks to last year’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona my faith has been renewed in the nebbish writer-director. Throw in the fact that the movie stars Larry David (I think David and Allen should be heterosexual life partners), and this could be big.
-
Thumbs Up. Way up.
-
Ditto on that one.
-
I actually haven’t seen this, partly due to the fact the reviews were so bad!
500 Days of Summer
I’m a fan of Zooey Deschanel (ever since I saw her in one of my yoga classes I’ve felt “connected” to her), and after seeing the movie Brick I think Joseph Gordon Levitt is awesome. Factor in that this is a quirky, indie-esque romantic comedy and I am sold, I tell you, sold.

-
I haven’t even heard of this until now. But yup, you just sold me!!!
-
Yay! I read about it in the summer movie preview in the New York Times— I don’t think it’s due until late summer, hence the lack of buzz.
-
Ooh well that’s fine because I think my list is of thing I need to see is long enough to last me till then. I love Zooey Deschanel!
I'M EXCITED FOR SUMMER TO BE OVER....SO I CAN SEE NINE!
This movie by Rob Marshall, who did the movie Chicago is going to be fantassssic! It’s a musical, singing, dancing, drama- all that good stuff. Not to mention there’s some KICK ASS PEOPLE IN IT: Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Judi Dentch, Sophia Loren, and my FAV DANIEL-DAY LEWIS

Good one! I LOVE Daniel Day Lewis and Marion Cotillard is amazing— La Vie en Rose was crazy good.
-
Hopefully, it’s better than the show on Broadway.
-
Eh. shrugs shoulders.
Bruno
Borat was so amazing and I’m pretty sure this is supposed to be even better. I try SO hard not to like movies like this, but Sacha Baron Cohen just pulls me in. Can’t wait!

He is HI-LARIOUS.
Public Enemies
Johnny Depp AND Christian Bale? I’m SO in.
-
I think I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t like Johnny Depp. BUT I have to say this movie looks good!!
-
I don’t really find him attractive, but I think he’s a pretty good actor.
Year One
Even though Michael Cera seems to be reprising the awkward, yet lovable, doofus role for the billionth time, I’m still itching to see this.

-
looks awesome
-
I laugh SO HARD every time I see this preview. CAN’T WAIT.
-
Michael Cera is such an adorable caveman.
-
Ew.
Funny People
I’m going to say something extremely controversial: I don’t really like Adam Sandler. That being said, I do have some faith in him thanks to Punch Drunk Love, and since I trust Judd Apatow and co. won’t lead my astray, I’m going to go ahead and put this one on my “to see” list.
-
Yes Punch Drunk Love!!!! But come one, Billy Madison was pretty awesome too. :)
-
It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so I might have to give it another viewing before passing judgment :)
Entertainment Weekly's Summer Movie Calendar
Or as I like to call it, “The Bible.”
Up
I am probably WAY too excited about this movie, but it looks so darn cute. I could just eat up the old man, the chubby little boy scout, and that overweight pup. So friggin’ cute.
-
Saw it and LOVED it!
-
Will this make me cry??? I really want to see it but have heard it’s terribly sad!
-
Haha OK! Putting it on my list for sure!
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Like the nerd that I am I’ve read all the Harry Potter books and seen all the movies, and like the short attention-spanned 20-something I’ve become, I can’t remember what happened in the last movie, or what the last movie was even called for that matter. But I’m still excited to see Harry and the gang writhing in all their adolescent angst.

-
I am 100% nerding out with you. I can’t wait for this one either.
-
Yesssss!
.jpg "Shawna")
-
Did they start on the next one yet? I can’t remember?
Where The Wild Things Are
This was my all time favorite book when I was in elementary school, and I’ve probably never been so excited for an upcoming movie than I was when I saw the trailer for it! Yay. Bringing back the past!

Good one! I didn’t know this was coming out this summer!!! I heart Spike Jonze— I’m putting this one my list!
.jpg "JCsuperstar")
-
I had no idea this was coming out either! Total blast from the past.
-
I’m just going to use this as an opportunity to say that I think Spike Jonze is HOT.
Julia & Julia
This is pretty much my dream movie! Not only is it partly about Julia Child, but it’s a movie based on a book that’s based on a blog. I am so beyond excited for this!!
added by Susie 06/09/2009
-
Oooh. Good one! I sorta want to read the book before I see the movie, but I just might give in the and see the movie first!
-
I always like to read the books first, but I have a feeling it wouldn’t really matter for this one. The book is a quick read though!
-
Saw the full preview for this last night and omg I’m even more excited now! It looks fabulous!! And probably even more exciting for me bc I have a food blog. Love it!!
My Sister's Keeper
I saw a preview for this last night and it looked really, really good, though quite sad! But I love Cameron Diaz (and Abigail Breslin too), so I’m kind of excited for it!
added by Susie 06/14/2009
-
I haven’t seen any previews for this, but looks like a total tear jerker a la “Stepmom”— I can’t watch that movie without bursting into tears.
-
I cried at the preview, so yes I think it’s going to be veryyy sad :(
-
When you cry during the preview that’s when you know it’s going to be a SERIOUS tearjerker.

This guide is dead on. Might just use it as my futurey reminder list so as not to forget to see any of these.

I just saw Star Dreck. I fell asleep 40 min in. BOR-ing

I agree – I was just noticing the other day that we have some great summer movies ahead of us. I can’t wait to see 500 Days of Summer. What a strange poster though. I guess Joey reallllly like Zoey in this movie :o)
