Some people might think that an unhappy love story is a waste of a lot of very clever and cute "getting to know you / overcoming obstacles" moments.
LOVE this site!

Thanks for the informative review - I can't wait to see it. Aside from sounding like a great flick, "500 Days" seems like a great film for those interested in learning about cinematic story telling. What's your feeling on the audience age range? What would be the youngest age you'd suggest for this film?
Thanks!

Thanks, Tracy, and you are right! This is an excellent film to use as an example of cinematic narrative. I'd say the age range depends on the individual child because the developmental range for young teens is so unpredictable. But in general, I'd think 14-15 and up would be about right.
So glad you've seen the film, Nell--and liked it almost as much as I did! It really made me laugh a lot, and brought a tear or two to my eye as well. Loved the reference to "The Graduate" (am I, like Tom, mistaken in that we both thought "The Graduate" ended happily?!? Didn't it???) Anyway, what a treat to see with Kathy Deane and on my birthday, at that! Hope you're well!
Wonderful to hear from you, Susan, and happy birthday!!! I'm thrilled that my two pals celebrated wth this lovely film.
