Critics Consensus

A clever, offbeat romantic comedy, 500 Days of Summer is refreshingly honest and utterly charming.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

This is a film which tries so hard to be fresh and different it loses sight of the bigger picture, is just kind of empty somehow, and rather beefs up the 'rom' and the heartache at the expense of the 'com.'

The Atlantic

The principals perform their roles nicely, but there really isn't much for them to do. Undoubtedly, the age gap has influenced my negative response.

Reel Talk Online

What makes this movie so seamless is the spot-on performances of the two lead actors and the very relatable story of what happens when love--and life--happens.

Rated: B+

Deep Focus Review

Don’t call this film a romantic comedy, because with that label comes so many bad associations. Instead, call this a slice of romance, with all the potential elation and heartbreak offered therein.

Rated: 3/4

The thing about (500) Days of Summer is that you could switch the leads and not miss a beat. Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt are that good.

For something that is not a romantic movie, it definitely hits close to home. It was a wonderful story, and throughout it I couldn't help but to relate to the mc. I hope Tom will enjoy Autumn more than he enjoyed Summer.
