Iron Man 2 (2010)

The “Iron Man” sequel is a disjointed, entertaining mess — the sort of summer fun “The Dark Knight” could never have. Robert Downey Jr.’s smartass charm wears well, and he is supported by Mickey Rourke (a Russian villain) and Sam Rockwell (a clueless rival).

(500) Days of Summer (2009)

A realistic (un)romantic comedy told out of order: Joseph Gordon-Levitt falls in love with the adorable Zooey Deschanel (Summer), but she doesn’t believe in love. Both give charming, natural performances, and there’s even a musical number.
