(500) Days of Summer

Summary: When Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) meets Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), he thinks he’s met “the one,” but Summer remains unconvinced

5 Words/Phrases: Did a really great job of telling the story in a non-linear structure; absolutely amazing soundtrack; Tom’s feelings regarding romance and Summer were captured beautifully; every member of the cast performed their role perfectly; had great little bursts of comedy

Most Impressed By: Summer’s traits of being approachable but unattainable was perfectly portrayed by Deschanel; Gordon-Levitt does a great job at making Tom relateable; the vivid usage of the color blue throughout the film¹; the clever usage of the 500 days to tell the story

Least Impressed By: …nothing!

Overall Rating: 10/10

1. The color blue was apparent throughout the film to bring out the blue in Deschanel’s eyes. [↩]
