Caffeinated Clint
Thanks to Twentieth Century Fox, Moviehole has 10 double in-season passes to the film Moviehole’s Clint Morris calls “2009’s must-see movie!“.
“(500) Days of Summer” is essentially the story of a boy who falls in love with a girl, but the girl doesn’t fall back. He’s, of course, a big believer in love; she’s never experienced it, so likes to keep her relationships ‘casual’. It’s a relationship doomed from the beginning – but like the duo that live it, the audience will never regret it.
Flashing forward, flashing back, flashing forward, then flashing back again, the film retraces the origins, the peak, and the fall of greeting-card designer Tom (Joseph Gordon Levitt, “Brick”) and office assistant Summer’s (Zooey Deschanel, “The Happening”) brief romance. We’re warned at the start of the film by it’s narrator that “This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, this is not a love story”, so we know on that 500th day that Tom and Summer are unlikely to still be holding hands, playing ‘house’ in the IKEA (as they enjoyed to do in the early, more hopeful days of their relationship).
Written by Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber, Webb’s “(500) Days of Summer” is like a celebrated jazz-ballet dancer – it doesn’t put a foot wrong; nor make a wrong move, and even when others might have lost their step, or energy, it just keeps on moving – as vibrant as ever.
500 Days of Summer opens nationally on September 17 and sneak previews are happening this weekend – September 11, 12 and 13
