This year marks the eight-year anniversary of the offbeat romantic comedy 500 Days of Summer.

The movie, which quickly became a cult classic, introduced the world to Summer, a girl who does not believe in love and Tom, who can't help but fall for the "perfect" beauty.

Fast forward 500 days and their love story has (spoiler alert) come to an end — but for fans of the movie, the characters will live on forever.

Zooey Deschanel/Summer (2001 vs. 2016)

The New Girl star is the epitome of the manic pixie dream girl persona in 500 Days of Summer but don't be fooled.

"Yes, Summer has elements of the manic pixie dream girl – she is an immature view of a woman. She's Tom's view of a woman," director Marc Webb said. "He doesn't see her complexity and the consequence for him is heartbreak. In Tom's eyes, Summer is perfection, but perfection has no depth. Summer's not a girl, she's a phase."

Geoffrey Arend/McKenzie (2002 vs. 2017)

Known for his roles in Super Troopers, Geoffrey is currently starring on the TV show Madam Secretary.

He is also married to Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks.

Matthew is best known for his role of Dr. Spencer Reid in the hit CBS series Criminal Minds.

However, he is also the voice of Simon in the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies.
