One of my top three favorites of the year.

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2009)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as the helpless romantic in the film, (500) days of Summer.(500) days of Summer is the best romantic comedy since 2003's Love actually. (500) days of Summer, like Love actually, is funny, romantic, sad,and other things. Another thing that the two films have in common are that they are both fantastic.
The film revolves around a guy named Tom(played excellently by Joseph Gordon-Levitt),a greeting card writer who is very deep when it comes top true love and stuff. Tom's life changes when he meets Summer Finn(played excellently by Zooey Deschanel), his bosses assistant. Deschanel isn't her normal self here. I love her in anything she's in, but here she is corky and different than usual.
The film shows Tom and Summer and all of the 500 days that he spent with her. These time periods jump around a bit. One minute you are on day 108 and the next 7. I wouldn't think that it would show you all 500 days. It shows you the important ones.
(500) days of Summer has some moments where you don't know if it's fictional or not. There are also many hilarious moments. Also some very sad moments. (500) days of Summer has many things. It's a unique romantic comedy to be perfectly honest. There is a moment where it shows what Tom wants to happen and it shows what is actually happening in the same scene.
Both performances are fantastic. Especially Joseph Gordon-Levitt's. This is a believable romantic comedy too. You can actually tell that Tom is in love with her. These two performances are one of the top performances of the year, and this is one of the top three movies of the year.
