The scene after Tom gets laid is great. Very accurate representation of what it feels like to have sex... Probably.

I think people describing this as a "romantic comedy" haven't seen the movie or have a very loose definition of "romantic comedy".

Always a favourite. Fantastic editing, touching characters, educational love story. People have complained the film is too 'experimental'. I say that gives it it's charm. 5/5.

An anti-romcom, it tells the story of Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Summer (Zooey Deschanel) from Cupid's arrow (Day 1) to getting over her (Day 500), from his point of view, a point of view that may include distortions, reevaluations, even a musical number. What do we choose to remember, and how? The film gets even more clever by going back and forth through the days, so we can contrast the good times with the bad. It's funny, but the humor comes from the structure, flights of fancy, or from characters being in-character funny. The moments play out as real, or at least the feelings behind them do. A real charmer, even if I never fell for Summer myself (in that sense, it's a true anti-romcom). Maybe it's because she shares traits with a number of girls I went out with myself. I'm past day 500 already.

Great movie! I expected a mediocre romance, but this turned out to be something entirely different.

I loved the way the story flashed backwards and forwards and most of all I loved the irony, the humor and the way the movie makes fun of life, love and relationships as well as cliche movies or images.

Zooey Deschanel's character was really sweet, so free and unconventional... and Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a great job as well, the way he was confused and fascinated by Summer... had a great time watching it!

I just watched 2 hours of a guy trying to get over some girl. Hmmm. I expected more of this since I heard many great things about it. My final thought was "is that it?". I wasn't too charmed by this movie. I also wish Zooey Deschanel would explore other kind of roles. Once again, she's the weird, mysterious, awkward yet charming love interest. We've seen her do that too many times.

Pretty realistic story of love! I liked the "expectations and reality" part most...I think I know Tom very well.
