500 Days of Summer

With the slow roll-out, I ended up driving into the city to see "(500) Days of Summer", and it ended up being a worthwhile trip.  The film takes a time-fractured look into the relationship between Tom (Joseph Gordon-Leavitt) and Summer (Zooey Deschanel).  While the film isn't bust-out LOL funny, it manages to balance out a gamut of humorous, warm, sweet, melancholy, yadda yadda scenes, and the viewer is treated to many different emotional touchstones in this relationship as the story bounces around their timeline, but it still makes sense with a fine sense of narrative pacing.  Overall, it's just a nice, solid film about 2 people and the journey of their relationship.  The film featured very good performances and chemistry between Gordon-Leavitt and Deschanel. 

If you're in the mood for such a film, it's worth checking out.

I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
