Recommended Videos

Regarded as the showcase of everything that’s so adorkable about Zooey Deschanel, (500) Days Of Summer was truly propelled by an exceptional performance from Gordon-Levitt, who plays love-struck and love-flattened Tom Hansen.

Marc Webb’s directorial debut features an out-of-order story that provides a brilliant display of the diverse range of emotions that Tom goes through. Gordon-Levitt is able to show the highest points of a man in love, and seconds later the crushing depression that comes from a failed relationship, all while remaining totally likeable and relatable.

Most Impressive Scene: The expectations vs. reality scene is incredible. The side-by-side view of one night going two very different ways is a terrific way to show Tom’s varying reactions. Not only does Gordon-Levitt do an excellent job at displaying the contrast, but the exact execution needed to pull off that beautiful scene is impressive in itself. Definitely the highlight of the film.
