I saw this at the Sydney Film Festival back in June, and while its first half or so certainly spooks, it seriously loses its way as it progresses. We all left the theatre reasonably disappointed, sadly. Though I'll admit it is fun to watch with a full house at a late night screening.

Re: (500) Days of Summer – a review

I really went in for this, too. Maybe that's due to my unabashed fondness for Gordon-Levitt and Deschanel both, but I had such a good time with this film. Only real gripes are that we barely get to know Summer at all (which is sort of the point, granted, but given all the insights we get into Tom's character, it did leave me wondering exactly why he fell so hard for her - aside, of course, from her having excellent taste in tunes and looking like Ms Deschanel) and that the little sister was annoyingly wise beyond her years. Liked the kid who played her, but the character felt out of place.

Lovely review though, and great to see the film getting some early amour over here. I'd happily catch it again myself!
