Reviews of (500) Days of Summer 2009
-
Well after a long delay on watching this, I can say I am beyond satisfied. Perfect soundtrack, perfect actors, perfect film. Not much more I could ask from this one. The way JGL and Deschanel interact in this movie is perfect. If you are looking for a solid romantic comedy, please watch this. You will not regret it.

This is by far the best romantic comedy of all time. The uniqueness of how the story flips between Tom and Summer's relationship and their break up is pure perfection. The hidden comedy in this movie will make you laugh your socks off. JGL and Zooey Deschanel put in stellar performances and are hysterically funny together. I recommend this movie to anybody, but if you're ever going through a break up, watch this. I'm proud to say that this is a film that I'll be watching every Valentine's Day.

WARNING: This review contains a lot of fucking swearing.
Maybe I'm emotionally retarded or something but I utterly despise this film: for me, this is my cinematic version of hell, for others it's hipster heaven. I love Joseph Gordon Levitt, he's an outstanding character actor who always defies being typecast but as Tom, all I saw him as was a self-absorbed sap who idiotically risks his own professional and personal life on a woman who is clearly a cunt right…

BOY MEETS GIRL. BOY FALLS IN LOVE. GIRL DOESN'T.
1. She's ends up being a bit of a bitch in this movie but I seriously have a major thing for Zooey Deschanel.
2. I'll admit it's probably not the greatest film in the world but it has a good soundtrack and is very watchable.
3. Did I mention I have a major thing for Zooey Deschanel?
4. Totally guilty of doing the same thing in IKEA.

Favorite film about romance.

A Masterpiece, filled with both Constants and Variables. Near perfect

This was a very sweet & genuine movie. It told a story that was very real. I'm sure a a good amount of people have had a very similar experience. Zooey Deschanel and JGL give very solid performances. I can totally feel JGL's pain. I was expecting to like this more than I did. Nonetheless, it was still a good movie & I did enjoy it!

Zooey/Summer is the ultimate bitch in this movie and there were a lot of moments every millenial can identify with, thats why this movie is so popular, its the "Harry met Sally" or "Annie Hall" of our generation, it might not be as good as those movies were (a lot of times this feels like a chick flick) but its a good picture of how irrelevant relationships are in most people lives in the world today, its not an essential…

Overrated, la verdad nunca entendí el gran escándalo y los grandes comentarios de la gente sobre esta película, lo único que no me importaría volver a ver sería a Deschanel; no me parece mala, ni buena, y tampoco la volvería a ver.
Le doy dos estrellas porqué me gustó la analepsis y las constantes comparaciones de la expectativa vs la realidad. -
Prompted to investigate this seeming little film after reading a highly critical piece on this site, which was followed by a vigorous bout of those expressing support and opposition. Always a good sign in cinema! Well, I loved it. Clearly some found it pretentious but I delighted in the believable and funny dialogue and loved the non linear construct imposed by the 500 day counter which is always advising on what day we are in the developing relationship as we…

The college radio version of the romantic comedy: not quite indie, not quite mainstream.
Directed with confidence by music video veteran Mark Webb and with a witty and fresh script (even if my sympathies lie with Summer rather than the writers' obvious surrogate, Tom), (500) Days of Summer stands up well to repeated viewings, mostly so during the straighter moments, some of the more artful (and artifice-full) ticks cloying slightly once you see them coming.
