500 Days of Summer ****1/2
Starring Zooey Deschanel & Joseph Gordon-Levitt
When Forgetting Sarah Marshall came out I had friends who said it was the most realistic breakup movie they had ever seen. When I saw I thought it was really good (don't get me wrong) but I thought the circumstances of the breakup were far to specific. The thing about 500 Days of Summer is that it is completely universal; everyone has been in his (or her) position. Everything from the Hall & Oats dance sequence to the argument about titles is done perfectly. Both Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt play their parts exceptionally well and make it that much more fun to watch.
