A very pleasant film

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2004)

I have just seen this on DVD and would like to add my comments to those already placed.
I rarely cry at a film; however this is one that I do not mind admitting to crying at. I felt that the film was very tender, quiet and sensitive, as surely the plot requires. I felt the acting was more than apt for the quality required: if anything the cast were let down by a, perhaps, stilted script, which could explain the `jumpy' stages of the relationship.
I have read a few negative comments here and would like to say that not all movies have to break the `expected', that is if the plot is a well worn one, why does it have to be different? Why can it not just be another pleasant story around a previously done outline? Why for a change can the `bad guy' not change in to a good guy: it does happen! Why is it when this happens some people do not see it for the value that it brings? Something to hope for at least.
This film is certainly entertainment value on its own merits and is pleasurable to watch and definitely worth a look at.
