While Summer is often misidentified as a "Manic Pixie Dream Girl," the film is actually a critique of Tom's tendency to idealize her rather than seeing her as a real person with her own agency. Visual Style:

Before 2009, romantic comedies often featured a male protagonist whose life was magically fixed by an eccentric, free-spirited woman. Zooey Deschanel’s character, Summer Finn, was initially pigeonholed into this "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" trope. However, the film subverts this entirely by showing that Summer has her own agency, complex desires, and boundaries. The tragedy of the film is not that Summer is heartless, but that Tom refuses to see her as a real person instead of an idealized fantasy.
