(500) Days of Summer review
16 July 2009 5:12 AM, PDT
One of the better of the many inventive moments in (500) Days of Summer includes a split screen: on one side we see Tom’s (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) Expectation of what his evening with Summer (Zooey Deschanel) will be like and on the other we see Reality. It’s timed perfectly. The Expectation is just a few seconds ahead of The Reality so we can compare and contrast them, but eventually they’re in sync just in time to provide the right comedic effect. It’s a terrific scene. If you read this review, you’ll have high expectations for Marc Webb’s (500) Days of Summer, and I don’t think the reality will disappoint you. It’s a funny, engaging and sometimes very sad story, but it’s always entertaining.
