This is a story of boy meets girl, begins the wry, probing narrator of 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true to life and unique dissection of the u...( read more

This movie is just extraordinarily tremendous. No sappy storytelling, no happy endings, no unusual situations, no unbelievable individuals. It's so real and so de facto, I would have no problem believing in it. A tale of unrequited love, of hearts breaking and mending and all ove...( read more)

A near perfect film that I will definately be seeing again and again. One of the year's finest.

When Ponyo came out, I stole Roger Ebert's line about Almost Famous and said I wanted to hug the movie. When I finally saw (500) Days of Summer, I wanted to hug, kiss, lick, squeeze, and make gentle, passionate love to the movie. Finally, a 5 star film of 2009. Finally, a trul...( read more)

A fantastic romantic-comedy, that isn't afraid to explore the bitter side of love. Levitt is brilliant, capturing the insecure and emotionally vulnerable man, too seldom seen in films. The humour is also right on the money. Being awkward, witty and downright hilarious. Levitt's d...( read more)

Picture this: a group of friends go to the movies. One of them is a sweet, dreamy guy who recently broke-up with his sweet, rocker girlfriend but can't let go. Another one is a metalhead girl who can't move on after she broke-up with her boyfriend... more than a year ago. Two of ...( read more)

Increible! Es padrisimo ir al cine y ver que aun hay directores que nos traen cosas nuevas y reales. Creo que de historias romanticas, esta es la pelicula que mejor retrata el amor de hoy dia... las sensaciones y situaciones. Yo creo que todos, o la mayoria, podemos sentirnos ide...( read more)

Just like it's said, it's not a love story. It's a story about love. And a pretty good one ;)

I've never loved a movie and hated it so badly at the same time. This movie says everything that needs to be said and it hurts to watch it sometimes, especially day 500 because I've been right there and most guys I know have been there too. It's told in a non-linear, absurdist ...( read more)
Critic Reviews
Everything that's wrong, on the surface, with (500) Days of Summer pales in light of everything that's going on beneath its surface. full review
Much like Annie Hall did for a previous generation, (500) Days of Summer may be the movie that best captures a contemporary romantic sensibility. full review
For all its ambitiousness, (500) Days of Summer feels synthetic and derivative, a movie that's popping with perceptions while searching for a style. full review
A fresh July breeze among recent (and mostly stale) romantic-comedy offerings. full review
The ending is tidy and way too cute, but (500) Days is otherwise a different kind of love story: an honest one that takes a piece out of you. full review
The movie charmed me enough to send me out smiling, and I can see younger filmgoers taking it very much to heart. full review
In romance, we believe what we want to believe. That's the reason 500 Days of Summer is so appealing. full review
It is so annoyingly cute about the smartness of middle-class young white people in love that one quickly realizes it is only about that -- not love nor passion as everyone experiences it. full review
There's no real drama when the inner life of the female lead is so shrouded, even if that's the point. full review
