Plots(1)
In this quirky romantic comedy about love and fate, a young greeting card writer (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is hopelessly, helplessly searching for the girl of his dreams...and his new co-worker, Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), may just be "the one." But the 500 days of their offbeat relationship reveal (in no particular order) that the road to happiness can be unpredictable, uncontrollable-and unbelievably funny! (official distributor synopsis)

A nostalgic ride into the past, when all this stuff still meant something. Marc Webb turns the tables skillfully and doesn't forget to add the bad to the good. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is excellent as the idealistic young man who one will day become a dad who will watch 500 Days of Summer on TV because Disney+ told him he might be interested.

This is not a love story.. Maybe not, but romantics will still adore this tale. Marc Webb simply had to recreate so many natural feelings and moods from life, so accurately, that I definitely won't be the only one who sees themselves in Tom. With each passing year, the turmoil becomes more relevant.

A fresh and new approach to the material with excellent casting. The two main virtues of this interestingly presented and positive comedy, where the wave of seriousness and sometimes bitterly cynical undertones resonate perfectly with the archetypal premise of all romantic films, are love and everything around it. Webb got it right, it's from life, and while it seems mature and adult at times, it's actually a teen issue in every way.

You can feel the tremendous energy from the start, it's charmingly imaginative, very sensitive, and very "communicative". What's also interesting is the kind of haze of mystery and uncertainty you'll want to share with Joseph. I almost didn't even breathe during the expectations/reality scene, because it was so evocatively delivered, thanks to Marc Webb's skill and sensitivity, it had quite an archetypal effect on me (and of course, purely personal memories came up for the occasion). I also liked very much how balanced it was in terms of content (or information) – on the one hand, it thoroughly demonstrates the positivity and pleasant things that come out of falling in love (the dancing, going to work scene was without flaw in this respect) and on the other hand, the subsequent huge inner mess is depicted fittingly, perhaps at times a bit violently. The seemingly unformulaic treatment also added some points to the result, so at this point I'm not afraid to include (500) Days of Summer among what I consider high-quality and tasteful among romantic films.

I watched this film more out of curiosity due to its popularity, but I honestly didn't see anything special about it at all. It is hardly funny, not intelligent or entertaining enough to grab your attention. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is likable, but Zooey Deschanel was an ugly bitch whom I found very unlikeable, I didn't really root for their strange relationship. It didn't sit well with me. A run-of-the-mill unremarkable romantic drama like any other. 55%
