` ` ( 18 ) Days of Summer '' is absolutely wonderful , ' ' . It is about an 18-month relationship , but avoids use of formula . Deschanel makes the lovely , sensuous Summer just precocious enough to know what she wants without coming out and saying it , and Gordon-Levitt , with his junior Springsteenian chin jut , lets you read every glimmer of hope , pain , lust , and befuddlement beneath his nervy facade . Joseph Gordon - Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are outstanding .
