An endearing, well-acted film that takes a conventional premise and turns it into something wonderfully unconventional.

Hopefully writers Neustadter and Weber have already got another project in the works.

Gimmicky love story that's not saved by its bittersweet ending. Acting is more than just cooing with your eyes. It seemed like 500 days allright. Paul Chambers, CNN.

The film's bruised yet clear-eyed romanticism is refreshing to find in a genre that often settles for something less than truthful or passionate.

... it does a nice job of charting the rise and fall of a relationship with heart, soul and a recognition that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

We have been trained by Hollywood to react a certain way to a certain kind of movie and 500 Days of Summer seeks to un-train us through shock therapy.

Abound conventions and the occasional nugget of overwrought wit threaten, but fail, to cripple the leads' revelatory sincerity.

Una irresistible comedia romántica que desafía algunas convenciones del género, gracias a un tratamiento fresco y original, una deliciosa banda sonora y dos protagonistas perfectos.

The two leads are as quirky and likable as the movie itself.

A kind of Woody Allen comedy but without the jokes. Lots of cultural signifiers to make ivy league couples on a date feel at home, but totally lacking in substance.

A near perfect genre defying representation of relationships, infatuation, and getting over the first real love of your life...

The film revels in the hip witticisms that swim mostly inside a writer's head but never come forth in the real world with the timing and execution seen here.

At last, here's a movie that takes the wimpy, tortured, hopelessly-in-love boys from the other movies and tells them to grow up.

This is a story that most people can probably relate to, unless you are one of those lucky people never to have been on the losing end of the game of love.

Le tout est exécuté avec un tel enthousiasme que nous ne pouvons que nous laisser emporter par cette vague on ne peut plus rafraîchissante, et surtout profondément désarmante.

500 Days of Summer never quite convinces, despite the charm of the leads. This is wannabe indie, and these two Hollywood names are too 'big' to play beautiful nobodies navigating a heart-wrenching misunderstanding.
