Today I watched this for the millionth time. The acting is so believable. I understand both sides of the story. It could of easily been me and the man I have known for over 2 years trying to figure us out. Realationships are tricky. Communication is everything. Gives me hope that everything does work out for a reason.

I first watched this film when it was released in theaters in 2009. I thought it was good but I'm really not one for romantic comedies. I just watched the film for the second time recently and it honestly was amazing. I don't think that this movie deserves to be called a romantic comedy because it purely romantic. While there is comedy and very funny comedy I may add. The film is about love and the pros and cons of it.This film makes the audience feel amerced in a relationship that only people can wish for but it is clear from the way the story is told that the relationship will not last. The film shows what is possible in life, even the best of times can lead to the worst of time and when the best of times are over they will start again if you give it a chance.I'be never been one to believe in fate but this is the best example that makes me think that it is possible. On another note the way the story is told with title cards, narration, dance sequences, archived footage and many other forms of filming is absolutely enjoyable. The acting is also fantastic.Last word, the expectation Vs. reality sequence is incredible.

Being well removed from the target audience for a film like this, I can only say I tolerated it for the purpose of posting a review, recommended as a Top 250 Movie for 2009, the year it was released. Like a lot of teenage/young adult heart throb stories, they're usually a one-shot affair as it's present rating wouldn't make the cutoff for the current year's listing. It's not that I have anything against films like this, I just find them mediocre at best with not a lot to say about anything, unless you're someone of the same age dealing with the kind of coming of age issues as Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Summer (Zooey Deschanel). I thought their portrayals were good by the way, though the way Summer came across seemed like she didn't care about herself very much the way she entered her non-relationship with Tom. And the way Tom burned his bridges at the greeting card company more than anything displayed his own immaturity. He would need a new job referral, wouldn't he? The one creative effort in the picture I liked was the split screen, Expectations/Reality scenario which diverged and and then dovetailed back on itself during the party scene. The split screen technique isn't new, but I don't think I've seen it used that way before. Before seeing this movie, for the life of me I couldn't figure out how the five hundred days of summer was going to play out in the story, never thinking that it might have been a character's name. But at the finale, I had a pretty good idea what the new girl's name would be, because after all, what comes after summer. In Tom's case, we'll never know if he found true happiness with Autumn, or if he was headed for a big fall.

The film "(500) Days Of Summer" is an emotional driven Drama that centers around the life of Tom. Tom is fascinated with Summer who just moved to Los Angeles from Michigan. His fascination is at times cute, however, one can come to the conclusion that he is obsessed with Summer or that he has attachment issues. He clearly displays this when he finds out Summer is engaged to the man she met at the store. However, this may slip as you will feel heartbroken with Tom and blame everything on Summer, but shouldn't he have taken a hint? Summer was clearly hinting that this was not ever going to work since the beginning and finally told him in the very last scene of the film "What I was never sure of with you." This film displays relationships and how they are never truly perfect. I would recommend this film to anyone who is or has been heartbroken.
