"You should know up front this is not a love story."

     Tom believes in fate and true love. Summer, on the other hand, does not. From the first time he lays eyes on her, the new assistant for his boss at a greeting card company, Tom believes Summer is his soul mate. Unfortunately for him, the next year and a half, or 500 days, to be specific, is a journey of falling head over heels for her, being heart broken, and trying to get her back. The audience follows the endearing duo as they go on little trips around Los Angeles to everyday places like a vintage record store, an Ikea store, a city park, and an indie movie theatre. The narrator speaks from a third person perspective, but viewers are still able to get an inside look at Tom's true self. With understated allusions, witty pop culture references, charming "couple's moments," and a killer soundtrack, (500) Days of Summer is a story for the ups and downs of love, and for what happens after all of that is gone.
