(500) Days of Summer (DVD)

Have you ever gone to watch a film either at the cinema or in your own home, expecting to see something which was going to be a new leader in its genre, and maybe you were going to watch a film that might change your opinion on that genre or cinema in general? Well with this film, this is what I was expected. I had heard it was put within the romantic comedy genre, but it took everything we expected and turned it's on its head. It should have worked. The title for my review, which is technically one of the taglines, is perfect. You should not go into the film expecting a cutesy love story where boy meets girl, they both fall in love and they live happily ever ...  Read the complete review

I have been waiting for this since I saw its trailer after it has gone to several film festivals.Being a lover of lovey dovey films, i was sure i won't be let down by this film! Though i must say,it turned out to be more than what i expected-a rather honest depiction of today's romance. Gone are the days when a boy meets girl,fall in love,get married and live happily ever after. The narrator warns us in his funny voice that this is not a love story and it actually turned out to be much more than that. I loved the way the film progresses,the director chose to make it interesting by showing us the days in the bracket,1 being the day he first met her.The film ...  Read the complete review

*** beware of any spoilers i may write *** "This is a story of Boy meet Girl ......but this is NOT a love story" I have to admit on first glances i thought this film would be one of those that they say isn't a love story but they still would live happily ever after in the end. So it was refreshing to find that this film is different to other rom-coms. The film follows Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his relationship with Summer Finn (Zoey Deschanel), a new work collegue who men have an irrational need to fall in love with. It's not chronological but that's not a major flaw and there is some quirky cinematography like a split screen ...  Read the complete review

500 days of summer, the best rom com (if you can call it that) for...well, since I can remember, for me this is the best film that could fall under the rom com catergory that I have every watched, and rom coms are one of my guilty pleasures. The film is a story that ranges through all 500 days of a young mans relationship with a girl called summer, in an unorthordox method the films goes back and foth through the relationship stalling on different days to give the viewers an insight on their collapsing relationship. I thought this film was truely magnificant, I was lucky enough to get a free advanced ticket to see this film before the film was released in the ...  Read the complete review
