500 Days of Summer “An offbeat romantic comedy about a woman who doesn’t believe true love exists, and the young man who falls for her.”

I am probably NOT the biggest Joseph Gordon-Levitt fan ever (thats being nice) I pretty much don’t like the guy as an actor and don’t get him. Zooey Deschanel on the other hand I do like and I heard good things about this movie so I had to see it.

I went into this thinking it would be your typical love story and that I would be extremely bored by it and I WAS WRONG. This movie is very unique in the way it tells its story. It unfolds haphazardly clever and actually makes your brain work. The thing I love most about this movie is that it fast forwards and rewinds thru the 500 days and shows you an onscreen counter when it does it. It is haphazard because it goes from the end of the 500 days in the beginning to nearly the end and then to different spots randomly. It makes for a very interesting story.

As much as I hate Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Loved Zooey Deschanel I have to admit he was the better actor in fact he was so good It actually changed my mind on him completely. Ive hated him in previous movies he has done but I think he is finally growing up and becoming a great actor with more movies under his belt.

Zoeey Deschanel I think puts on an alright performance and she is supposed to be this uber hot girl but I had a hard time buying it. She is a very good looking woman but she isnt THAT good looking if you know what I mean.

This is a great movie about relationships and it tells it in a non boring and unique way. I really loved it and im gonna go ahead and give it 5 out of 5.
