Fun movie. I was laughing from the start.

This is the best movie I think I've ever seen. Wonderful story, great acting. I recommend this movie to everyone. Loved it

Time Wasted

4 Stars? This was extremely fragmented and very vulgar. It should be 1/2 star. Cheap, lewd and dysfunctional... the flashing back and forth made it difficult to enjoy.

"(500) Days of Summer" is the best movie of the year; it's this year's "Dan in Real Life." It's got real people doing real things and holding real conversations; it's got messy relationships, which are real, and it's got real laughs. It's like life, in other words, with a better soundtrack -- which makes for a relevant, engaging, creative, near-perfect movie. You don't quite know what you're doing to get, and yet what you get is so quixotic and fun that you can't help but liking it. It's excellent. See it -- and pass the word

i don't think one should ever use the two terms , "fragmented and vulgar" in the same sentence. This film was decent, fragmented, NO. Vulgar, yes, but funny. Two sentences works much better.

I enjoyed watching the two stars from Office,but the story was a joke and so very boring in some parts - yes, "fragmented" and vulgar to the point parents should not bring their preadolescents. Glad I waited until it got to the dollor movie.

Well, it is PG-13, so, yes, preadolescents are younger than 13. Kind of like 90% of PG-13 movies: not for kids. This movie was great. Sweet soundtrack, well-dressed leads and believable. After seeing movies like Memento, this movie was almost linear. It felt like memories more than a straightforward plot, which is good. Who remembers a relationship chronologically? This was like the memories of a relationship, at least in the way it was organized. And Autumn is cuter than Summer, personally.
