The Worst Film Ever
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
I'm gonna make it short and crispy. Don't watch it and don't waste 110 minutes of your valuable life. One reason why I got this movie was the cast. Second reason, I was almost done with the unwatched movies of my collection. Third reason, the title of the movie sounds something like "Love Actually", which is one of my favorites. But it is so disappointing.While I was watching, I was just waiting, waiting, waiting that whether it might give me something interesting. But, huh! Not at all. Just a mere waste of time! There was no single instance where I even smiled. So beware, guys! Absolute non-sense movie.
I was pleasantly surprised by this film. It is a lovely film with several even 'great' moments. It was not what I expected, and to share too much of the film would be giving away some of the suspense of the plot and story and script, which I don't want to do. That would be unfair. It isn't just a romantic comedy, or just a romantic drama. It touches the heart at moments, it touches emotions. It deals with death, emotions, healing, the heart, love, loneliness, and simple ups and downs. Jennifer Aniston is a solid comedian and a solid actress. I admit I enjoy her films. The rest of the cast is solid as well and surprisingly good. The script is good too.If you want to be surprised, enjoy a little film with your self, your family, your friends - this is a nice film to do it with. Enjoy!
Not flawless, but a solid movie dealing well with serious subject matter. I noted a reviewer didn't like this movie because it deals with someone's "passing"; perhaps if there had been more euphemisms in the movie and less confrontation of grief (i.e. acknowledgment of human mortality), then they'd have liked it better. (If you've ever been forced to deal with grief, you may appreciate this directness. Also, I think a film dealing with one of the most fundamental of human experiences should not be canned simply for trying to tackle the subject.) Anyway, this does a decent job and throws in whimsy and romance. The romance is light, tying the male lead feeling his own humanity by relating with the female lead. It's mostly talk (with maybe a light kiss), like in an old movie, and entirely appropriate to the movie's tenor. It's nice. The 3 main characters give 8 out of 10 performances. There are one or two cheesy moments in the film, but they're short, and everything else was fairly good to very good, so I rate this film an 8.
Ryan Burke (Aaron Eckhart) lost his wife in a car accident three years ago and wrote a book to get rid of his sorrow. The book was then released and has since held seminar for people who have worked their grief. When he returns to his former hometown of Seattle, he will hold a seminar. He is not so happy about it, because his former in-laws live there too. Burke's father (Martin Sheen) hates him because he makes money on his wife's death. But Burke does to help people. Then he meets a pretty flower girl Eloise (Jennifer Aniston), who live agents and decorate the hotel's beautiful flowers, and he is trying to invite her out, but it is not so little with her. He has not been out enjoying himself in three years. So when he comes out with Eloise, he tries to show her who he really is, but he has no inner demons to fight first.It is the most touching films I've seen in long time. Eckhart and Sheen play so well together that you start to cry over their scene (I did) because it was so touching. Aniston usually choose the more bad roles in movies like mean nothing. But then the role of Eloise and gave her a good career back in a bearing supporting role. Aniston is not doing much better when she plays the main role, she gives it more of a supporting role. Through the film we see Eckhart help a man go through his grief, as the cost to him everything. The scenes are very beautiful and the movie never gets boring, you just get carried away. There are no scenes that we can do without the film. This was Brandon Camps debut film and it was shame it did not come to the cinema (in Denmark).
