500 Days of Summer is an 2009 American romantic comedy film. It is directed by Marc Webb, produced by Mark Waters, and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel.

This is Gordon-Levitt and Deschanel’s second movie together (following Manic). Principal photography began in April 2008 in Los Angeles, California. The film is scheduled by Fox Searchlight Pictures to be released on July 17, 2009. Its full release in Australia will be on October 1, 2009. An offbeat romantic comedy about a woman (Deschanel) who doesn’t believe true love exists, and the young man (Gordon-Levitt) who falls for her.

The film tells the story of the relationship between a woman, Summer (Zooey Deschanel), who doesn’t believe in true love and a man, Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), described as a hopeless romantic, who falls in love with her. Over a span of 500 days, the story moves in a non-linear fashion from the perspective of Tom, who goes from ecstatic giddiness one moment, indulging in a fantasy song and dance sequence at one point, to crippling depression the next. It features two songs (“Us” and “Hero”) by Regina Spektor, and “Sweet Disposition” by Melbourne-based band The Temper Trap.
