Best movie of this year hands down!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

(500) Days of Summer is not your average romantic comedy. In fact, I don't think it belongs in the same category as a romantic comedy - it has a completely different feel to it. It has a fantastic soundtrack and Joseph Gordon-Levitt does a great job of playing the broken-hearted everyman. So what if Zooey Deschanel annoyed me? I liked this movie and I would recommend it to others.

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.

Finally, the day has arrived and I can happily say that I have lived to see something that I almost lost my hope to see - a truly original, clever, beautiful, creative, funny and moving, modern American romantic comedy. Nothing is new in this world. It is impossible to come up with the new plot about love or possibility of love, or expectation of love or losing it but it is possible to look at the old story with a fresh eye and to make the movie as enchanting as 500 Days of Summer. The first time director Marc Webb has started on a very high note. His movie is charming (I know I use this word a lot but it describes 500 days perfectly). It combines many different techniques and succeeds adorably in following two leads and their 500 days of getting together and gradually drifting apart. Not often, I see the movie that makes me smile from the beginning to the end. I felt like that big silly grin was glued to my face and I did not mind at all. It is nothing Webb did that I have not seen before. He applies the broken narrative and jumping back and forward in time. His use of split screen technique creates the best scene in the film with many memorable scenes. He inserts a musical number that seems to come from a Bollywood movie and changes the real world into animation. Yes, we have seen this all before but together these tricks have mixed in something magical, delicately bittersweet and funny without being stupid, loud, vulgar, and pushy.The big part of the magic is without a doubt an undeniable palpable chemistry between two leads, both known for their previous performances in the independent movies. Zooey Deschanel (Summer) was the best part of All the Real Girls (2003). As for Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Tom), now, eight years after 500 days of Summer, he has become one of the best actors of his generation.Marc Webb's debut feature generated many positive reviews, and it deserves them. Time will tell if 500 Days of Summer becomes Annie Hall for the modern time. I believe it is that good. There were few things that I did not like very much, for example a clichéd smart-alecky rather annoying character of pre-teen sister of Tom. Nevertheless, the entire movie is so wonderful that I don't want to nit-pick and would recommend it highly.P.S. Wherever you are, Jenny Beckman, I want to thank you for having inspired this movie.

I was wishing I Will see a happy ending...most of this kind of movie is normally ends well...Yes they tried but it's sad so so sad...We don't need Autumn..we need summer..If all the love story goes like this then what's the point of all this soul mate or LOVE thing...I am saying from my heart watch this movie but don't give up on LOVE...I am not giving up....We shall not Give up...The movie is well written and directed ..all cast and crew did an amazing job...but still I am telling it's a sad movie...Thanks
