Greeting-card writer Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is romantically attracted to Summer (Zooey Deschanel), but Summer is not ready to fall in love. That does not stop Tom from pursuing her, and the "500 days" represents the time during which Tom is obsessed with winning Summer's affection. The story jumps back and forth during the 500 days, and one segment is highlighted by a split-screen on which one side is labeled "expectation," while the other is labeled "reality" as Tom tries to convince Summer that they have found true love. 1 User Review

| | Ultimately, this film fails, but it is worth watching. | 1fatts 03/14/2007 | The story about the almost-collaboration of Spielberg and Kubrick is well known by now; and you can't help but see the seams throughout the film: the ethereal quality of Kubrick does not quite fit the moral fables of Spielberg. The movie is too long, too episodic, and, finally, too pat.
But there are ideas and images running through this film that should not be easily dismissed or discounted. Haley Joel Osment really is so good it hurts, but, more importantly, there is an attempt here at scope, at vision which is worth our attention even if it doesn't quite work. Spielberg tries to explain too much; Kubrick would have let it remain unresolved imaage. But you can forgive ambition a lot more easily than insufficiency.
I'm sorry it's not a better film. I'm glad someone serious tried. |
