(500) Days of Summer [DVD] [2009]

It was a good movie about falling in love and trying to convince your love interest to love you in return. In the end he found someone to love.

Possibly one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Zooey Deschanel is adorable as the woman who doest believe in love until she finds it, and Joseph Gordon-Leavitt takes you right back to those lovestruck, lovesick days weve all had. Great music (especially the scene with Hall and Oates You Make My Dreams Come True) and a flashback approach that underlines the ups and downs of a relationship.

I absolutely love this film, the director did a fantastic job and I loved the different time zones mixed together, making it a really interesting film which you have to concentrate on :) Also, loved the ending (not predictable)

This could have easily slipped into a cutesy boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-back-girl snorefest that weve all seen dozens of times before.

Marc Webbs indie twenty-something romantic comedy takes place in a Los Angeles that conforms pretty much as to how its hero, Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), is himself: clean, hip, and retro. The films narration sets us up to believe the film will be pretty much equally about how Tom, a greeting-card writer who once dreamed of being an architect, and Summer (Zooey Deschanel), his bosss assistant and the girl of his dreams, will see their ensuing relationship, although the reality is that the movie is mostly from Toms perspective and Summer exists mostly as a commitment-phobic enigma to break his heart. (Her two-dimensionality is signaled by the films cringe-worthy title pun.) The film, as has been noted elsewhere, is less original than it purports to be, although its playful time scheme (it zips back and forth from different points in their relationship--from infatuation to early love to disillusionment) is one of the most interesting things in the movie; among the least are derivative fantasy sequences where Tom sings his love with a crowd in a park (with a cartoon bird) and sees his relationship as a Bergman film. The best thing the film has going for it is Gordon-Levitt, whose animated eyebrows and cartoon squiggle of a mouth are marvelously expressive: he deserves a better film. The film seems to be a kind of advertisement for IKEA (there are multiple scenes set in the Los Angeles store) and for color-coding your wardrobe: Gordon-Levitt keeps to browns and blacks (with early 1980s skinny ties and cardigans), while Deschanel affects deep blues. How either of them affords their spectacularly expensive wardrobes, or their beautifully appointed one-bedroom private apartments in downtown Los Angeles, is something the filmmakers never explain.

One of the best written romantic comedies I have ever seen. Very realistic too. This is why Joseph Gordon-Levitts career took off.

awesome

A simple film with genuine personalities that tells us to open our eyes and see things the way they really are.

Its a really good movie i enjoyed it from the beginning to the end
