The official book tie-in to the acclaimed romantic comedy from Fox Searchlight Pictures, an audience hit at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt (3rd Rock from the Sun, 10 Things I Hate About You) and Zooey Deschanel (Yes Man, The Happening, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). "This is a story of boy meets girl," begins the wry, probing narrator of (500) Days of Summer, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true-to-life, and unique dissection of the unruly and unpredictable year and a half of one young man's no-holds-barred love affair. And as the story winds backwards and forwards through Tom and Summer's on-again, off-again, sometimes blissful, often tumultuous dalliance, it converse the whole dizzying territory from infatuation, dating, and sex to separation, recrimination, and redemption in a whirl of time-jumps, split screens, karaoke numbers, and cinematic verve—all of which adds up to a kaleidoscopic portrait of why, and how, we still struggle so laughably, cringingly hard to make sense of love... and the hopefully make it real. Directed by Marc Webb and written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, (500) Days of Summer stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tom and Zooey Deschanel as Summer.
