Comments on: REVIEW: (500) Days of Summer http://thegown.org.uk/2009/10/17/review-500-days-of-summer/ The Gown is a free, fortnightly independent student newspaper at Queen's University Belfast Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:55:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: C Wylie http://thegown.org.uk/2009/10/17/review-500-days-of-summer/comment-page-1/#comment-125 C Wylie Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:14:24 +0000 http://www.thegown.org.uk/?p=410#comment-125 I didn't mind the feeling of melancholy, that was clearly the intention, but at no point did I truly genuinely care about either of the lead characters. I also hated the non-linear narrative. It was there just to up the "cool" factor and really added nothing to the film. It left me cold, folks, freezing cold. Slash, I would guess that new girl at the end will not end up being his wife either. God forbid they'll have a sequel...
