What Parents Need to Know
About (500) Days of Summer
Parents need to know that the content in this smart romantic dramedy is age-appropriate for teens and up, but its thoughtful exploration of relationships may speak more to those in college and older. It has a sweet-yet-realistic view of relationships that’s refreshing given the usual formulaic dreck in this genre. Do expect some frank talk about sex (as well as some kissing and an implied shower sex scene), drinking (sometimes to excess), and swearing (including one "f--k").

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about relationships. What makes them work or fail? How does the movie handle this topic? What makes Tom and Summer's relationship more realistic than other movie pairings?
- Do Tom's career issues also seem realistic? Is his struggle typical of college grads these days? Why does he continue to write greeting cards when that’s not his calling?
- How does the movie portray sex and drinking? What role do they play in the story and the characters' lives?

okay good points for teens 11 and over

- My highlights are:
Perfect for older kids, not for teens, especially the ones who are into the whole relationship idea.
I think it was a great movie. Though there were a lot of of kissing and the whole taking a shower together wasn't a good idea although it didnt show. It brings a good message about love. Love is not always real. Real love is when you know when it is and youru feelings are always positive.

Fantastic!
I loved this movie! It's really cute and it'll make you laugh. The ending was VERY unexpected, but I liked it. It's not your typical fairytale-like love story, which adds interest and uniqueness to it. It's a really great movie and the way it's told can be confusing at first, but actually makes more sense in a way. Great movie!

- Inappropriate language
There is some bad language but the message is a good one, about love and when expectations don't meet rality

- My highlights are:
Sunny with some clouds - a charming, realistic fable for older teens.
This is a charming story about the complexities of love.... Ideally it is 'on' for older teens, who can understand those sorts of complexities! It doesn't idealize love, which is what makes it ultimately positive in message - it's realistic, yet hopeful. Believable characters, and some clever flourishes, sets this apart from typical rom-coms. See my review on YouTube: "Gab reviews 500 Days of Summer"!

Love this movie!
I personally loved this movie. I think that it portrays an honest look at love and relationships, and how it doesn't always turn out the way we think it will in the beginning.

Fantastic Film!
This is one of the best written movies of the year. All middle schoolers should watch it. There is some sex, a few instances of bad language, but overall, it is a typical PG-13. 10+(red), 12+(yellow), 14+(green)

Loved it!
A very cute and sweet movie about love, with a romantic, fresh male character and a quirky girl who isn't sure that she ever wants to be part of a couple.

Funny movie perfect for tweens
It was a really good movie, funny and sweet.
- I rate this title on for age 12 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
- My highlights are:
- Good role models
Great movie. I am a pretty strict parent and I would recommend this movie to any 12 year old. I do think though, that for young boys 13 or 14 would be a more appropriate age. Anyhow, wonderful drama. 12 year old loved it. I saw it days later and didn't regret a thing. The only thing that concerned me was violence but on a scale of 1-10, it would be a 4.5 in my opinion.

Tweens (12+)
Wonderful movie i think all kids 12+ should definitely see. I don't think it is a need for parents to attend this movie with their kids. (I did only because I wasn't sure.) Think of it as the same sexual material as 17 Again. My niece's favorite movie. Message is good and I would definitely see it again.
