If you\u2019ve never noticed the preface at the beginning of this movie, you\u2019ve been missing out.<\/p>\n
I generally think \u201ctell me a story\u201d formula movies are lazy garbage, but somehow this one gets an exception. This, and \u201cThe Princess Bride.\u201d Seriously though, just get into it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always thought she was more of a winter person,\u201d my friend says in response to Zooey Deschanel\u2019s character Summer. She\u2019s right.<\/p>\n
The flirting in this movie is so far from subtle, they should just walk up to each other and say \u201chey, I\u2019m flirting,\u201d and live their lives from there.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t handle the time switches in this movie. Thank you for the screen that shows which day out of the 500 days we are in, but it\u2019s still a lot to keep up with.<\/p>\n
Is Summer supposed to run over and make out with him every time he plays The Smiths? It seems like that\u2019s what they\u2019re getting at. No.
\nThere is definitely a right and wrong time for method acting. These guys should probably be drunk for real, because the acting is as smooth as sandpaper.<\/p>\n
The first half-hour summed up in one sentence: I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019m watching a \u201clove story\u201d between middle schoolers or adults, but they\u2019re beautiful actors in general, so here we are.<\/p>\n
\u201c500 Days of Summer\u201d is the only reason I want to go to IKEA. Is it actually cute? Or is there more to it? Why are they being stereotypical? And are people allowed to just make out in the beds? Think of the children.\"\"<\/p>\n
SHE LITERALLY SAYS SHE DOESN\u2019T WANT ANYTHING SERIOUS. LISTEN UP, JOSEPH.<\/p>\n
The post-sex musical scene is the most magical moment in the whole movie. This is how I feel every time I leave my last final.<\/p>\n
From happiness to depression in two seconds. Thanks.<\/p>\n
Never doubt the emotional bond between a cat and a person. This isn\u2019t related to the movie, but it\u2019s important to note as I am currently crying over a cat that\u2019s not even mine.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of awful sexist moments. How have I never noticed this before? It\u2019s hidden behind the semi-cute nature of this movie.
\nTWO PERSON RELATIONSHIPS ARE NOT DECIDED BY ONE, SINGLE PERSON, TOM.
\nNow the penis game. It\u2019s decided: middle school.<\/p>\n
Now this is a French film?<\/p>\n
I would buy a greeting card that started as a poem, and then turned into a hateful revenge letter. I really don\u2019t see the problem. Tom\u2019s boss is far too nitpick.<\/p>\n
The expectation vs. reality segment is killer in the worst way. But you had to see it coming. I didn\u2019t, but that\u2019s not the point.<\/p>\n
There really do need to be more greeting cards featuring cats.<\/p>\n
To sum it up, Tom is whiney and can\u2019t get a clue. Summer is living her life mostly-honest, but doesn\u2019t consider other people\u2019s feelings.<\/p>\n
IF THE GIRL\u2019S NAME IS A SEASON, DON\u2019T DO IT. SHE IS NOT YOUR SOUL MATE.<\/p>\n
