    (500) Days of Summer Review

    On the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack, the sound of unrequited love is oh so beautiful.

    This generation's cinematic ballad for the broken-hearted sees Joseph Gordon-Levitt endlessly pursuing every hipster's crush, Zooey Deschanel. The movie's soundtrack couldn't be more gorgeously heart-wrenching either.

    Of course, the master of pop sorrow, Morrissey, shows up on two classic Smiths tracks "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" and "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out." Somber modern fare like Doves' "There Goes the Fear" sits alongside Morrissey and Simon & Garfunkel's warm "Bookends" comfortably. Regina Spektor adds some unique levity—but the true highlight is when Deschanel busts out her own rendition of "Please, Please, Please…" for She & Him's album closer.

    Getting your heart broken never felt so good.
