(500) Days of Summer Review


The movies are just getting better and better the colder it gets.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Tom Hanson, a young gift card designer who believes he will never truly be happy until the day he meets "the one". "The one" (he thinks) turns out to be Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), a coworker he meets in the elevator. Basically, we are spun around and around the time which passes since the day he first meets her to the time he....well....see the film. Throughout this time we are shown a cleverly crafted portrait of a relationship which plays out unlike anything I've ever really seen. Sorry, this review is kind vague and uninformative but it's a really clever, cute, and worth your time so GO SEE IT!

Rated PG-13 for sexual material and language.
1 hour 45 minutes.

PEACE.
