Tom, de jongen, gelooft nog steeds heilig in het bestaan van een alles veranderende, kosmisch voorbestemde, als door een bliksemschicht getroffen liefde, zelfs in deze cynische, moderne wereld. Summer, het meisje, gelooft daar niet in. Helemaal niet. Dat houdt Tom echter niet tegen om steeds weer achter haar aan te gaan, als een moderne Don Quichot. Opeens is Tom niet verliefd op zomaar een lieftallige, grappige, intelligente vrouw, maar op het idee van Summer, het idee van een liefde die nog steeds het hart kan laten overslaan en de wereld op zijn kop kan zetten.

Recensie (10)
I watched this film more out of curiosity due to its popularity, but I honestly didn't see anything special about it at all. It is hardly funny, not intelligent or entertaining enough to grab your attention. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is likable, but Zooey Deschanel was an ugly bitch whom I found very unlikeable, I didn't really root for their strange relationship. It didn't sit well with me. A run-of-the-mill unremarkable romantic drama like any other. 55%

A nostalgic ride into the past, when all this stuff still meant something. Marc Webb turns the tables skillfully and doesn't forget to add the bad to the good. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is excellent as the idealistic young man who one will day become a dad who will watch 500 Days of Summer on TV because Disney+ told him he might be interested.

This is not a love story.. Maybe not, but romantics will still adore this tale. Marc Webb simply had to recreate so many natural feelings and moods from life, so accurately, that I definitely won't be the only one who sees themselves in Tom. With each passing year, the turmoil becomes more relevant.

Someone else wrote it… doesn’t make it any less true. A beautiful, nice, poetic and extremely brisk film, where romance can both caress and bite until it breaks the skin... just like in life. Perhaps the conclusion could have been a little less of a fairytale. However, (500) Days of Summer is a fairytale, but this fact does not take the cute banal force out of Webb's film. Probably the biggest surprise of last year from the American mainstream.

I'll admit, I rarely watch romantic movies anymore because, in that stereotypical whirlpool, there are only very few titles worth watching. The vast majority of those genre pieces are made as if following a template and differ only slightly in doses of naivety and, when it comes to teenage matters, even in the level of tastelessness. (500) Days of Summer really stands out from this flood because it has honest craftsmanship and a few decent ideas as well as pleasant casting. But from my perspective, it's by no means a cult film. It was allegedly a huge hit at the Sundance Festival, but any major studio could have easily financed this Webb film. In fact, it is purely a mainstream affair. If stars were given for the best mainstream romance of the year, (500) Days of Summer would probably win hands down, but that's not how it works for me. It differs from the usual productions mainly by the fact that the screenwriter admitted that not every romantic love ends in marriage, but if they want to sell me these discoveries, they should turn to someone else with such banalities. After two days, I can only remember very little from the film. It's pleasant enough for one viewing, but nothing more. Overall impression: 60%.
