SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Console best movie i've ever seen.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Subhamoy Sengupta When I check my voting history, I see I have voted for movies rather generously. But I never actually gagged to give a movie a 9 and felt inhibited not to go beyond 7. I wish this movie let me love it a little bit more.The story is very simple and popular. Actually, in my country, at least a dozen movies are made every decade on a plot like this one. So, it's not the catchy story or an end twist that people love these kinda movies for. So, when you already know what is gonna happen and how, complete attention falls on things like cinematography and compelling conversations.This movie has wonderful moments. Well, with Jude Law, that is no surprise. I wanted to see this movie for Gretchen Mol. She is spontaneous, but not brilliant. The thing is, for this movie, she did not have to be. But when a sensitive viewer is watching the film, certain things should be left unsaid for his mind to synthesize and derive. If everything is discussed on a round table (not literally), it becomes more educational and less charming. That is what is pulling this movie down. Movies like French Kiss or Addicted to Love never surprised any viewer with a climax. But those films took their breaths away no doubt. I wish this one was a little more subtle and metaphoric. That way, I would not have to settle for a 7.Though there is no surprise in the end, the end is very beautiful. Feels like it's filmed by some different director than the one who filmed the educational speeches. But anyway, this is a lovely film to see. You might find it very good, or just good, depending on how forgiving you are in real life. There is no way you are gonna regret spending your good money on it. I recommend it. Who am I to recommend? You don't wanna know.

jotix100 Not having a clue what this film was about, and without better things to watch, the title hooked us, as well as the cast. Then it started and frankly, the film is a far fetched story with characters and situations that don't ring true. The basic problem of the film is the script that writer/director Charlie Peters created as the basis of the movie.The acting is uneven at best. Jude Law plays Danny who is in love with Anna, the young woman he helped bring into the world. We just don't believe Danny, the tile man, will come back to pursue Anna, at all. Gretchen Mol is somehow stiff with Anna, who appears as though she doesn't care about Danny and does everything to get him away. We don't believe, for a moment that Nina, the blind sister, played by Jennifer Tilly is real. Not only that, but that she is lured out of her world when she meets the loving Latino waiter at that seedy club doesn't make sense, besides, even if she can't see, her family surely would have objected to the situation. Brenda Blethyn, Jeremy Priven, Martha Plimpton, and especially the wonderful Jane Adams, don't have a thing to do.Most comments in this forum refer it as cute, we could only add, to watch it at your own risk.

potpurry7 The main reason to see this cute film is Jude Law's likable performance as Danny.He out-acts everyone and steals every scene he's in.He plays a lovesick guy out to win the engaged-to-someone-else- girl he helped deliver when she was a baby and he was 5-years-old.He has quite a hurdle of obstacles.His pursuit is gentle,yet persuasive.He's very charming in it,and females will love him.My husband liked this film also and felt it is true-to-life in some ways-how a person pursues someone who could be totally wrong for them.It's not an excellent film.The choice to have Gretchen Moll as Jude's love interest was a bad one.She acts poorly,and there is a lack of chemistry.However Jude's intense stares at her and genuine obsession make the film a real treat. Yes,there are some amusing moments I won't spoil.Another person I enjoyed in this is Martha Plimpton.Her scenes with Jude are funny,and she uses him to solve a problem of her own.The result is actually the funniest scene in the film.I think it's a flawed yet great little movie.

fefolk Sometimes a sweet love story with a predictable ending is just what is needed. As far as morals go, turn on the television at any time and the morals are far worse than any in this movie. That is not to say I agree cheating on ones spouse or having sexual intercourse with just anyone is acceptable; it is however a really minor part of the movie. It is really about a young man who teaches an entire family how to love through his love of one of its members. If you want a sweet non-taxing romance, this is a reasonable choice.Jude Law makes everything believable.
