Brilliant Romantic Comedy

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2009)

I had high expectations for this film as I have enjoyed Joseph and Zooey's previous work and they didn't disappoint.
It is a simple concept for a film, boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl but girl doesn't believe in love, but it is pulled off fabulously by the leads, Joseph Gordon-Levit and Zooey Deschanel, who are as quirky as ever.
The director, Marc Webb, uses a non-linear story of high and low moments to map together the 500 days of Tom's very unusual relationship with Summer. It is both funny and interesting and it always keeps you guessing what is going to come next.
500 Days of Summer is one of the best films I have seen this year and definitely one of the best romantic comedies ever.
