(500) Days of Summer (2009)

I liked this. This felt honest, it felt fresh (even though there are some obvious similarities to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). It felt hopeful, and more then anything it wasn't a standard Hollywood romance story. I was greatly impressed. Fine work by the leads, Zooey Deschanel as charming as ever, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt gets you wondering why he isn't a bigger star, especially in a world with Shia LaBeouf. Grade: A-
