Not what I was expecting

Rating: 8/10 (11 September 2014)

I caught this on TV last night, and in the absence of anything else on, I decided to give it a go. The likable cast of '(500) days of summer' is headed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, with a good supporting performance by (a girl who seems to be in everything at the minute) Chloe Grace Moretz.
The story is filled with the standard elements, but the movie is anything but standard, as the story hops backwards and forwards during the 500 days of the title.
I can't praise the cast enough of this movie enough here. Gordon-Levitt and Deschanel are both perfectly cast as the leads. There is no weak links in the supporting cast and everyone delivers. The score is another valuable asset to the movie too.
Beautifully filmed, it has some genuine laugh out loud moments '(500) days of summer' is a highly professional piece of work with a good sense of pace and atmosphere it makes for a more than enjoyable 90 or so minutes
