(500) Days of Summer (2009) starring Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Directed by Marc Webb. Adorable Summer (Deschanel) is the girl who Tom (Gordon-Levitt) falls in love with -- and the girl who breaks Tom's heart. She tells him she doesn't want a serious relationship, then sleeps with him, which confuses him no end. The story is told in flashback, with their breakup coming in the first five minutes of the film. It is also told in non-linear fashion, with the numbered days of their romance being shown out of chronological order. It all makes sense, though, and the ending seems just about right. The subtitles are great -- even the songs on the soundtrack are captioned. Grade: B+
