"500 Days of Summer" is a romantic-comedy-drama that'll make you feel like a love guru by the time the credits roll. It's a story of Tom Hansen, a hopeless romantic, who falls head over heels in love with his boss's new assistant, Summer. Unfortunately for Tom, Summer isn't interested in anything serious, leaving Tom to navigate the complicated waters of unrequited love.

As someone who's been through the ups and downs of a crazy first love, I found myself relating to Tom's desperate attempts to win over Summer. Watching him struggle to keep up with her emotional aloofness was like reliving the emotional rollercoaster that comes with falling for someone who isn't ready to commit. And don't even get me started on how girls can juggle multiple partners while keeping you emotionally involved – it's a mystery to this day!

But the real beauty of "500 Days of Summer" lies in its ending. Tom finally realizes that there's no such thing as soulmates or miracles. It's a hard truth to swallow, but it's one that ultimately sets him free. He learns that life isn't about waiting for someone to complete you; it's about finding happiness within yourself.

In the end, "500 Days of Summer" is a witty and heartwarming film that'll leave you feeling empowered and ready to take on whatever love throws your way. So, if you're in the mood for a romantic movie that'll make you laugh, cry, and maybe even learn a thing or two about love, then this is the movie for you.

**When I suffer from love pain** after any breakup and cry for days, when I build scenarios in my head and upset myself again, **I will remember (500) days of summer** and I realised much better that t**here is nothing I need to upset myself so much,** because I have experienced that **new people will come up** and make me happy and even make me sad.

I recently had the opportunity to watch this movie again, many years removed from the first time I saw it. I was surprised how few details I remembered.

During the movie’s sharpest moments, the dialogue is witty and fun. The story bounces around back and forth along the 500 day timeline they have measured out for the relationship between the two main characters. The device works; we get to see the state of their couple-ness at various points. It is, most of the time entertaining.

But I have to say, as much as I like Zooey in her role (and this time around I know her from her great work in Elf), I was less than dazzled by our hero. I found him to be rather pathetic and despite the fun the two characters shared at times, it felt to me there was not much chemistry between the two, except when Zooey’s character exerted herself in his direction. Perhaps that was intended, given the arc of the plot.

As I said above, the movie was entertaining, but ultimately I wasn’t satisfied with the ending. How it turned out for both characters, while believable when looked at from afar, came across as sudden and a little lame. More groundwork should have be laid out for where they stood at the end.

Fun film.

'(500) Days of Summer' impressed me. It features a fairly unique and a pretty refreshing romcom story, which is told in an interesting way. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Tom) is very good, as is co-star Zooey Deschanel (Summer). The pacing is good, as are the comedic aspects. All in all it's a pleasant watch.
