500 Days of Summer takes pains to declare that it is not a love story. I disagree. Not only is it a love story, it's one of the best love stories ever put on film, which is probably why they don't think they qualify. For me it called to mind atypical (and outstanding) romances such as Chasing Amy and Closer.
This movie is boldly unconventional. It's not afraid to take risks and it succeeds on all fronts. It is funny, gripping, and unique. Joseph Gordon-Levitt controls the screen and shows that he is a talent who could one day contend for little gold statues. He'd get my vote here.
