(500) Days of Summer (2009) - What a Complicated Relationship! (No, Literally! The Movie is Out of Order!)

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2011)

One of the best romantic comedies ever made is the wonderful "(500) Days of Summer". The movie tells the story of Tom, portrayed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who falls in love with a girl that is not in the mood for a physical relationship named Summer, portrayed by Zooey Deschanel. The whole movie plays back and forth, which portrays a various nonlinear 500-day span in the relationship between Tom and Summer. Now, to cut straight to the point, this movie is one of the most excellent movies ever made. I loved every single moment in this movie. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel provide excellent performances, and the two actors provide electrifying chemistry. Chloe Grace Moretz, Geoffrey Arend, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Minka Kelly round up the supporting cast, with unique and wonderful performances. The wonderful script provided by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber was such a well-written piece of romantic comedy literature, that I think nobody else has tried to write before. We finally have a decent rom-com that actually portrays a relationship accurately, and how most relationships are not your every-day fairytale. Finally Director Marc Webb brings an incredible visual style to the movie, and brought a taste of charm and sense into the screen. The film also provides excellent film editing, impressive animation, and it has a beautiful soundtrack to die for, with my favorite song in the movie, "You Make my Dreams Come True". This movie also has a dramatic feel to the movie when the relationship sometimes have their consequences, and it affects their lives forever. But, as I already mentioned, this movie succeeds at realistically portraying that not all relationships work out like how they do in fairy tales. Life is life, and we must accept the obstacles we face, especially in relationships, even when they don't have happy endings. "(500) Days of Summer" is an excellent favorite, and a must-see movie for everybody. "(500) Days of Summer", in my review, "a wonderful, and excellent romantic comedy for everybody to enjoy".
