500 Days of Summer

Synopsis

The standard boy-meets-girl formula gets a twist in this tricksy American comedy-drama. The action hops about in time between some of the 500 days in which Tom believes that Summer is his soulmate, entranced not just by her beauty but also by the fact she shares his taste in 1980s guitar music. The film looks great, takes an original and though-provoking look at the whole idea of romance, and has a very appealing pair of stars in Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel.
