Project 4000

500 Days of Summer stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt who many of you may know from his days on 3rd Rock From the Sun and Zooey Deschanel, in a quirky comedy.

I honestly can’t say anything about the plot of this movie without giving away something important, but this a fresh look at this genre without being sappy or unintelligent. If you’ve liked Garden State or Stranger Than Fiction, this has a very similar feel to both of these movies not so much in the subject matter but more in the story telling and unique visuals.

Some of the visuals are almost picturesque and use of animation is appropriate. The score and soundtrack is excellently executed at no stage does it feel out of place or out of sync.

It is a fresh look at the romantic-comedy-tragedy genre with evident influences of film noir and art house while maintaining a very approachable and relatable. Go check it out let me know your thoughts, my recommendation is its a must watch this summer.
