About (500) Days of Summer

"This is a story of boy meets girl," begins the wry, probing narrator of (500) Days of Summer. With that, the film takes off at breakneck speed into a unique dissection of the unruly, unpredictable year-and-a-half-long love affair.

Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the boy, still believes — even in this cynical modern world — in the motion of a transforming, cosmically destined, lightning-strikes-once kind of love. Summer (Zooey Deschanel), the girl, doesn't; not at all. But that doesn't stop Tom from going after her, again and again, like a modern Don Quixote, with all his might and courage. Suddenly, Tom is in love not just with a lovely, witty, intelligent woman — not that he minds any of that — but with the very idea of Summer, the very idea of a love that still has the power to shock the heart and stop the world.

Opens in theaters on Friday, July 17.
