In the end, it is Christopher’s complete lack of commitment to any story that makes this movie stink like sun-cooked vomit.

500 Days of Summer
I am sad to say that in (Summer) a character struts around Los Angeles to a Hall & Oates tune with a flank of Solid Gold rejects, and that an animated bluebird of happiness also appears. The movie’s guts are not only shaped by the makers’ belief in the twee drivel of “Belle and Sebastian”, it directly quotes the band and then tells us doing so is irresistible.

What Mangold wants is similarity to the classics that have gone before. It’s all supposed to feel familiar, but more modern by being bloodier and by letting all the characters express their feelings.
200 Cigarettes
200 Cigarettes is wrong for so many reasons that I will just put as many as I can on paper before I get mad and have to go punch one of the neighbor kids.
