A truly great movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2010)

I highly recommend watching (500) Days of Summer if you get a chance. It is not your typical love story; it touches on something a lot of romantic comedies do not: unrequited love. The film shows the damage that can be caused by being in a nonexclusive relationship, which is something that is not shown very often. It puts a different perspective on the dating game, which I really enjoyed.
A highlight of the movie is the documentary segment which includes four or five views on love from various characters in the film. It has quite possibly one of the most powerful quotes about relationships that I have seen in a movie. The character Paul says: "Robyn is better than the girl of my dreams. Why is that? She's real." All in all, I would definitely suggest checking this movie out. There is nothing that I dislike about it.
