This week Scott and I take a crack at deciphering that unruly, elusive devil called love. Marc Webb’s debut feature, the hipster-tinged “(500) Days of Summer” is an indie hit that’s been hailed as a transcended unconventional love story. So, can Tommy from “3rd Rock From the Sun” and Summer, the singing department store worker in “Elf,” find love through their common interest in The Smith’s and J.D. Salinger’s “Bananafish,” or are their efforts just another cliched misstep for Hollywood? You’ll have to listen to find out!
