(500) Days of Summer

This was a lighthearted comedy about a love story that takes place during a span of 500 days. I was expecting a Hollywood type of movie, but this came across as an Indie movie.

It wasn't really funny, but I enjoyed the movie for what it was. I think the beginning is slow, but the movie does redeem itself at the end by showing the growth of the main character. He pulls himself out of his slump into the real world again and realizes that there is life after a breakup.







Netflix Summary:

When his girlfriend, Summer (Zooey Deschanel), unceremoniously dumps him, greeting-card copywriter and hopeless romantic Tom (Golden Globe nominee Joseph Gordon-Levitt) begins sifting through the year-plus worth of days they spent together, looking for clues to what went awry. As he recalls the good and bad times he spent with the commitment-phobic girl, his heart reawakens to what it cherishes most. Marc Webb directs this uncommon love story.
