(500) Days of Summer (DVD) Reviews

With the cold winter nights creeping in, the though of going out sometimes just doesn't seem ideal, I am much more of a stay in and be cosy girl but I do love a night out.

May contain spoilers. This story is one about a boy and girl love relationship. However it is not the typical happy ending rom-com. This film does have its good moments and bad moments. The film follows Tom and his relationship with Summer, who starts off as his new work colleague that everyone apparently falls in love with. ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I wouldn't say I am a fan of romantic comedies but then I wouldn't say this is your usual mainstream romantic comedy. The story revolves around Tom (superbly played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who falls completly for Summer (played by Zoey Deschanel), or rather Tom's version of Summer and the film is shown from his point of view. ...  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 tells the story of their relationship over 500 ...  Read the complete review

When Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber sat down together and decided to write the storyline for a new movie, the clearly didn't have the intention of doing it the mainstream way. I think somewhere they had the idea that it would have the backbone of a comedy romance, though they would adapt it to their liking in a way that we had previously ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room After the release of Juno in 2007, I'm a bit wary of "indie comedies" - they very often are pompous, pretentious, and self-satisfying. (500) Days of Summer, however, is a very different beast altogether - it is an antidote to the romantic comedy, which has largely ...  Read the complete review
