13 out of 20 (Points)

Well this is now one of my favourite movies . Fans of HIGH FIDELITY and ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND will be charmed by this quirky film that sheds a linear plot in favor of a memory-driven look at a failed romance. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (BRICK) stars as Tom, a greeting-card writer who dreams of becoming an architect and finding his true love. Zooey Deschanel (THE HAPPENING) plays Summer, a vintage-looking beauty whose ideas about love are entirely modern. As Tom remembers his 500 days with Summer, his mind jumps from moment to moment, largely thinking of the good times in their trouble-filled relationship. Indie darlings Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt are perfectly cast in this sweet, funny film that infuses the typical romantic tropes with reality. Anyone else would have caused audiences to hate Summer, but Deschanel is adorable enough that she still endears herself to viewers. Arthouse favorite Gordon-Levitt hasn’t played a traditional romantic lead since 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU in 1999, but here he proves equally adept at portraying Tom’s sweetness and his neuroses. Music-video director Marc Webb makes his feature debut with (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, and it’s easy to see influences of his past work. The soundtrack boasts songs from Regina Spektor, Doves, Feist, Wolfmother, and, of course, The Smiths, the band that brings the couple together. Webb also adds an innovative style to the dramedy, combining a naturalistic look at love with a non-linear plot, animated vignettes, and a triumphant musical sequence. The film’s mixture of cynicism and romance makes it perfect viewing for happy couples, the recently dumped, and the hopeful singles in the audience.

Every day i wake up and this life is not like this but the awful truth is it is ... We have to know that and also accept the fact that people are polite around us and some time love doesnt come over time or even spontaneous .

For me love is a miracle that happens once and no matter how hard you try its not going to happen . No matter how good are you or bad or what ever the person wants , if the miracle is not meant to happen it wont , so why regret about it .

Suggestion : I would suggest don't take life too serious and enjoy every moment . But don't be afraid to give chances or take one because you never know .

Hope my review is not boring this time because i have exams now a days i didnt had time to write more emotional version of such a beautiful, breath taking movie.

Hoping to give you more innovative reviews .

Yours truely
