Review of 500 Days of Summer

I understand frustration about Tom not ending up with Summer despite them having an ongoing ambiguous relationship, but I completely disagree with the people that try to paint Summer as the villain. She's not even the antagonist if you think about it (if anything it's Tom). Summer flat out told Tom from the very beginning that she didn't want a relationship, but Tom was convinced that he could change her mind or something. He had completely wrong expectations considering that Summer was straight forward in her feeling about relationships. Tom set himself up for failure, Summer didn't lie about anything. Just because you are nice, treat someone well, or are even in love with someone doesn't mean that you are right for them. That's a hard pill to swallow so I think that's why so many people dislike the film. Sometimes you can do everything right, but it's just not meant to be. Nobody is really to blame.
