    I loved this movie! it was soo great from beginning to end. It does everything taht a movie should; it gets you emotionally involved with the characters, tells a story, and gives you a bit of humor. This was an amazing cast and they all were very good although, i must of corse mu...( read more)st give the majority of the cerdit to the amazing Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He is adorable and totally likeable. You feel his pain and relate completely with him. Also Zooey Deschanel is very good as well. All though, you will be telling her to stfu most of this movie tho. ;)

    A realistic (funny, tragic, honest) look at relationships. It stars two of my favorite "indy" actors, Jospeh Grodon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel who are always a delight to watch and deliver here performances that are quirky, charming and painfully believable.

    Perhaps a close ...( read more)second (after the two actors) favorite "star" of this film is (my home town) Los Angeles. Shown here in rare form and reminding me (and the rest of the world) of all the beauty that can be found here. Which for once is shown to be more then just palm trees and "beautiful" people.

    And almost as enjoyable is the eclectic soundtrack featuring: The Smiths, Carla Bruni, Regina Spektor, Feist, Hall & Oates and Simon And Garfunkel (to name a few).

    The only problem that I had (SPOLIER ALERT) is the fact that after (500 days) of alternating between leading Tom on, putting him off and declaring that she doesn't want/need to be with anyone...Summer can both find and marry her "soul mate" in a matter of just a few weeks.

    While I can see a writer wanting this to be a sign of her "quirkiness" and possibly the fact that she might be a littIe unstable (an ultimately not a great match for Tom)...I feel like it would have been just as effective (and would have allowed her character to remain both quirky AND likable) if she would have just gotten engaged to the other guy.

    But other then that, I enjoyed the story and the clever way that it was told.

    i don't like rom-coms as a rule so i may be prejudiced. i am a fan of the two leads so i gave it a chance. and it's not terrible by any means. i'm sure it's better than 95% of rom-coms out there. it's just trying much too hard to be annie hall. i still mighta gone 3 1/2 but ...( read more)for that ending...*gag*

    When an indie film receives as much hype as this one had one gets set to be a bit disappointed. In this case, one would be wrong.
    Swimmingly excellent in every aspect this film was just a delight to watch.
    We are told from the word "go" how this film will end and usually that ...( read more)is a pitfall, but in this case it leaves us wondering where the trail will lead as we weave in an utterly un-chronological fashion through our lead's recall of the relationship.
    Isn't that how it really goes though? Never from 1 to 100 (or in this case 500), but snippets that get us from here to there. We remember the most recent and then perhaps insight into the middle and back to the start an then somewhere else in between. Some people might find this vehicle trite, but I feel it was very well done.
    In fact, many vehicles are drawn upon to make this marvelous story work. Time, black and white, musical numbers and dance. We even get a little Fellini on you, but they all work. They are a perfect depiction of how perception takes hold and love holds sway to tell the story rather than having us believe the reality which is what our lead must eventually come unto if he is to walk away in one piece...maybe even wiser (if not too jaded) than he was before.
    Fantastic performances by Joseph Gordon Levitt (Tom) and Zooey Deschanel (Summer) both of whom never disappoint. Levitt came into his own in my opinion in "The Lookout" and "Brick" and continues his great performances in great films here. Deschanel, ever the stunning, velvet-eyed Goddess, is perfect in her part as the independent, smart, beautiful woman that we all want, but, as she tells us from the start...we cannot have. That is just the way she feels and she never professes otherwise. She is not the product of some bad mix of emotional baggage she simply is as she is with no apologies.
    Watch this as soon as you can and go with it...it will take you places you have been before if you are honest with yourself. Summer was.

    Awesome.. this is a completely different love story, even though the narrator said this was a movie about bot met girl but not about love story.. still somehow this is a great love story, great visualization, casts and story.. Zooey was simply the perfect cast for the role.

    Above average rom-com that gets the balance just right.
