Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2009)

I can't describe how much I enjoyed this movie. It's the perfect story adapted to the new millennium exigences that truly displays the reality in relationships.
The movie delivers great quotes for all tastes. The sense of humor is also available for everyone. We get intense dialog dealing with relationships, commitment, labor life, and more. The narrative is pretty original and is very detailed to the point that you get to know the main characters quickly.
The truth is that "500 Days of Summer" expresses brilliantly the truth about romantic relationships and dealing with breaking up. It's a real and funny manner to display some situations and words that sometimes are difficult to express.
Some memorable scenes include a musical number by Tom, the heart breaking last conversation between Summer and Tom, their train travel, Summer's party, the Autumn scene, Tom remembering the ups and cons of Summer, the karaoke moments, and more. This is a very complete film in all the sense of the word. It's the romantic comedy by excellence of the new millennium.
The acting is pure brilliance. Zooey Deschanel's performance is dynamic, fresh, sexy, colorful, and intense. She adds a bit of indie to her acting and I enjoyed it all the time. Plus she's just extremely beautiful to be true. I love her. Joseph Gordon Levitt steals the show. The guy is funny, and knows how to perform when he has to demonstrate pain, happiness, and more situations. The supporting cast is perfect and does it's work pretty well.
The Direction by Mark Webb is simply stunning. The man makes the movie look dynamic and stylish at the same time. It has a feeling of indie through all the time. The Art Direction is simply great! I loved every bit of the use of colors on important scenes. Everything looks taken out from a book!
