(500) Days of Summer (2009)


The sleeper movie of the summer in 2009. This film starring Zooey Deschanel (Elf, Failure to Launch, and Yes Man) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Tommy from "3rd Rock from the Sun") is what some consider a modern Woody Allen love story.

Summer is the main character, the typical free spirit character than Deschanel always plays. While, Gorden-Levitt proved to me that he is more than just "the kid from 3rd Rock," he has really proven that he can act. I thought he reminded me of a young Heath Ledger and found that some share this opinion. Hopefully he can find some better roles than G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra in the future.

This story is about the heart aches of love, the fact that one person might be more committed to the relationship than the other. It is not a romantic comedy where you know everything is going to work out in the end. There are elements of reality and struggles as the characters lives progress. Getting over someone can make people develop into better people, and realizing it was never meant to be can be hard.

With cheesy moments and indie moments (comparing musical taste in a record store), I can see how this film is trying to market itself, it is a very long shot at a Comedic Golden Globe.
