Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel star in director Mark Weber’s wry, non-linear romantic comedy about a man who falls head over heels for a woman who doesn’t believe in love. Mark (Gordon Levitt) is an aspiring architect who currently earns his living as a greeting card writer. Upon encountering his boss’ beautiful new secretary Summer (Deschanel), Mark discovers that the pair have plenty in common despite the fact that she’s seemingly out of his league; for starters, they both love The Smiths, and they’re both fans of surrealist artist Magritte. Before long Mark is smitten. All he can think about is Summer. Mark believes deeply in the concept of soul mates, and he’s finally found his. Unfortunately for Mark, Summer sees true love as the stuff of fairy tales, and isn’t looking for romance. Undaunted and undeterred by his breezy lover’s casual stance on relationships, Mark summons all of his might and courage to pursue Summer and convince her that their love is real.
I went and saw (500) Days of Summer over the weekend, and I absolutely LOVED it! My friend and I had it narrowed down to this movie, or Katherine Heigl’sThe Ugly Truth. I’m so glad we didn’t go see that one! (It’s been bashed by critics!)
It’s such a great, funny movie! I love Zooey Deschanel, and she was amazing in this movie! It’s nice to see more of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and in such a cute – hilarious movie. He’s definitely come a long way from 3rd Rock From the Sun! And when did he get so hot? (The whole movie, I couldn’t help but think he could be Heath Ledger’s twin!)

Actress Rachel Evan Wood has sparked reports she’s moved on from her romance with rocker Marilyn Manson – after she was spotted in the arms of actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Los Angeles.
The 21-year-old star and 3rd Rock From The Sun actor, 27, appeared together on November 9th at the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards. And according to the National Enquirer, Wood has ignited a new love affair.
A source tells the tabloid, “This thing with Joseph has come out of nowhere. They’ve taken everyone by surprise. They were having so much fun together. They were dancing wildly, drinking and flirting. Joseph’s a genuinely nice guy. He and Rachel are very compatible and make a cute couple. After her relationship with Manson, there’s no doubt in my mind her parents are relived she’s finally dating someone clean-cut and closer to her age.”
Manson, 39, and Wood began dating in December 2006, following his split from ex-wife, burlesque star Dita Von Teese. They announced their break-up earlier this month.
