Cinema-Reader Review:

The action jumps forward and backward through time into the two lovers’ story along 500 days, from Summer’s Day One in the greeting card company and the joy of first dates till the more absolutely sadness near by of the end of the relationship.

The movie is really advisable as doesn’t fall into the patterns and hackneyed clichés of conventional rom-coms. Moreover when the weigh of the plot falls into Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s shoulders; reaffirming his well-known reputation within the independent film scene.

All these make (500) Days of Summer a different and fresh movie in spire of the overused topic.
