Re: 500 Days of Summer
Wasn't sure what to expect from this but I absolutely loved it. Both the leads were great, although the girl sitting next to me kept muttering 'bitch' under her breath at some of Miss Deschanel's antics
I thought the voice over worked well and I loved the quirky style of it - the animation, the dance sequence, the french film parody etc. Probably one of the best I've seen this year so 9/10 from me

My first free film, I thought the film was really enjoyable and definetly had something different about it, I would definetly recommend it to a friend!

I thought it wasn't bad (although the girl who sat behind me talking throughout was REALLY annoying). Great Soundtrack!!

Really really good film. Very depressing being a young single male though 
Re: 500 Days of Summer
I truly enjoyed it! I was expecting something more ordinary
8 out of 10 for me

Re: 500 Days of Summer
Maybe i was expecting too much but it wasn't as great as i thought it was going to be. Maybe because it didn't leave me with that warm fuzzy feeling that typical romcoms do! Joseph Gordon-Levitt was very good though, and i thought it struck the right balance between jumping between different stages of their relationship without confusing the audience (i am normally easily confused by such things!).
I would've been a bit annoyed if i'd pa*d to see it on the tiny screen at Whiteley's Odeon, but it's a shame the auditorium was only about half full.

Saw this at the Marble Arch Odeon and really enjoyed it much to my surprise. Thought it would be tediously quirky from the trailer but the non-sequential structure worked wonderfully. I thought the film captured all the intensity and absurdity of a lopsided love affair. 8 out of 10.

I was there too! Yet again must have missed you, didn't see anyone wearing a badge! I'll have to wear a badge myself next time...
Thought the film was OK, bit of a slapdash mishmash of ideas and styles and not much plot to speak of, most of the funny bits were in the trailer, 6/10.

Re: 500 Days of Summer
It was a nice twist on the romantic comedy. I really enjoyed it even though the girl sitting next to us was constantly calling Zooey Deschanel's character a bitch.
