(500) Days of Summer (2009)

I've revisited (500) Days of Summer (2009) for the first time since I saw it in the theater. This is a unique, offbeat look at a relationship over (guess what) 500 days. The thing is, the days are shown randomly out of order. The stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are very likable and you come to care about both, neither one is painted as all hero-or-villian. There's an impromptu dance in the street that's wonderful. The movie has lots to say about fate and such. The last line and shot is great irony. An intelligent, fun way to spend a little over 90 minutes.
