Or, to rephrase, it's a movie for those who appreciate the emotional resonance of a rom-com but are unenthusiastic about the clichés and formulas associated with the genre. In fact, what sets (500) Days of Summer apart from its cookie-cutter rom-com brethren is its subtle mocking of convention. Much like Woody Allen's Annie Hall did for a previous generation, this is a film that best captures a contemporary romantic sensibility. For his feature film debut, former music ...Read more

Undeniably cute, but dragged a little bit in the middle.

WORST LAST LINE EVER

The last line leaves a real icky taste in your mouth. The whole thing seemed like a rip-off of better movies. High Fidelity comes to mind.
