(500) Days of Summer

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn't.

This well-rated rom-com is decidely unconventional, which makes up a large part of its charm. More a boy-meets-girl story than love story, we follow our love-struck hero as he thinks back over his relationship with his boss's assistant. While he's in love, she's not... but what went wrong?

Box Office (USA)Ray Greene Don’t be surprised if this Summer provides at least a somewhat hot season at the box office.

Chicago Sunday TimesRoger Ebert Here is a rare movie that begins by telling us how it will end and is about how the hero has no idea why.

ScreenIt (USA)C. Fuchs The unexpected, delightful and completely charming surprise of the summer of 2009 for adult viewers looking for something a little different.
