a story of unrequited love

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2009)

This is an unusual movie in that the story is really about unrequited love. An uncommon topic for today's "guy gets girl" or "girl gets guy" genre. The movie is good, the acting believable and I would recommend it. The use of a "pop up" to continually alert the audience to "the time line" in the main character's life is unique as well. Too many movies have flash backs that are hard to "place," not this movie. All in all, this movie may be worth seeing just to see something that isn't "boiler plate" or formulaic (as the most recent set of releases). The ending is somewhat predictable but charming none the less.
