SO great!

Rating: 8/10 (18 August 2009)

This movie proves that you should NEVER judge a book by it's cover! When I first saw commercials for this movie, it looked happy and almost like a typical romantic comedy...but the trailer just DID NOT do the movie justice.
At times, "(500) Days of Summer" made me both laugh out loud (something I don't remember doing in theaters for a long time) and make me almost want to cry -- this well-acted film made a great impact on me because it seemed so real...this is one of the most original films I have seen in a WHILE! "(500) Days of Summer" also had the perfect chemistry between it's main characters; Jason Gordon-Levitt (as Tom) and Zooey Deschanel really looked like a couple...I think they should date. Haha.
I loved this film because it strayed so far away from "mainstream" and more materialistic romantic-comedies...it's darkness is almost unreal sometimes.
Overall, a great film that I wouldn't mind seeing again, and you bet I'll be first in line when it comes out on DVD.
8/10.
