This nonlinear romantic comedy declares from the start that it is not a love story. Tom’s heart has already been broken by Summer when the story starts. It flips through the days of their relationship giving the viewer a peek into their relationship’s ups and downs as Tom tries to piece together what went wrong, and how he can get her back.

Tom is played by one of best young actors, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. On day one of meeting Summer, who is played by the ever charming Zoey Deschanel, Tom is smitten from the start.
