Plot Summary
This is a story of a young man’s no-holds-barred love affair. Tom still believes in the notion of a transforming, cosmically destined, lightning-strikes-once kind of love. Summer, the girl, doesn’t. But that doesn’t stop Tom from going after her, again and again, like a modern Don Quixote. Suddenly, Tom is in love not just with a lovely, witty, intelligent woman but with the very idea of Summer, the very idea of a love that still has the power to shock the heart and stop the world.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: [A] visually witty, flawlessly played romantic comedy.
Fresh: It isn't Hugh and Andie or Meg and whomever, but (500) Days offers hope that Hollywood can pass that romance baton to somebody other than the crude crew of the Kappa Alpha Apatow frat house.
Fresh: This is movie magic most unexpected.
Fresh: The film's postmodern path takes us through touching, tender, hilarious territory before winding up at the most beguiling part of any love story. The beginning.
Customer Reviews
So good!
Wow. You can't really say more than that about this movie.
But I'm going to anyway.
This movie is awesome! I usually hate it when people come out of a movie and claim that it is their new favorite. It took me years to be able to determine my favorite movie. It was tough. Yet, call me a hypocrite, when I came out of this one I couldn't help but tell everyone that it had definitely made my top 10 if not my top 3.
I highly reccomend this movie. The acting is good, the story is enchanting, and the music is amazing. I bought the soundtrack the day after I saw the movie and I couldn't stop listening to it for at least two weeks straight.
All-in-all: superb movie!
One of the Only Romantic-Comedies to Speak the Truth
Aside from the tremendous acting skills in Zooey and Joseph, the best part of this film is the reality you feel when you watch it. There's no chase to the airport, no big incident that sets the movie in motion; all there is is the truth about relationships. It is truly refreshing to see a rom-com so embedded in truth.
Simply great.
This is probably the best romantic movie I've seen since Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Very original, and very funny. It is rare that I feel the emotion of a movie days after I see it, but this one did it. Almost every guy, at one point of his life, goes through what Levitts character goes through in this movie, and that's how it captures you. Also, the music is very,very good. Rent it, better yet, buy it. Seriously.
