Way better than I expected!

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 2009)

I was pretty reluctant to see this movie, but I had a free pass (for an advanced screening of it) so I went. I expected a cheesy chick-flick love story. It was a sort of love story, but I'm thrilled I saw it. The movie was a lot of fun. Sort of sad, but always upbeat and keeps you laughing.
I normally see movies that only get good reviews and that are typically "guy friendly", but I am actually quite thrilled to have seen this movie. It was excellent. 500 Days of Summer leaves you feeling a happy and optimistic. It could be the perfect date movie (unless you're in a relationship that's coming to an end... in which case it could actually be the best thing to two could go to see.
Highly recommended for anybody (but not really for kids)!
