500 DAYS OF SUMMER: Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) had Summer (Zooey Deschanel) in his life for 500 days and can’t accept that they were numbered.  She had absolutely no interest in getting married.  A delightful comedy of bittersweet romance, stylishly inventive, charmingly acted, that tries everything from a musical number to a black-and-white sequence to deal with a story that refuses to be a well-behaved romcom.  Directed by Marc Webb. (PG-13) Four stars – Roger Ebert
