It is a simple a boy meets a girl and the romance goes through the usual hiccups. But the specialty of this film is the way their romance is structured - the way it travels hence and forth among the 500 days.
Summer is the name of the girl the protagonist falls in love with at his workplace - a greeting card company. The film hops on a random day and narrates their romance or romantic development. It is haphazard. Though I strongly felt that days should have been arranged more coherently, it nevertheless renders a sweet experience. You travel with the characters - their emotional state.
The most important thing about this film is it puts smile on your face throughout the film. Even the secondary characters are very well developed.
The protagonist keeps on thinking Summer is his soul mate, which is not taken seriously by his friends and 12 years something 'I know everything' type sister. Summer, however, not ready for serious relationship keeps on confusing the protagonist with her 'I feel nothing' attitude.
The protagonist is a greeting writer and at the end of the film begins to think greeting card messages are devoid of reality. They mislead people and opts for his academic profession Architecture.
At the architecture firm interview, however, he wins a date with a beautiful girl named "AUTUMN".
All in all, it is a very sweet film.
