Better than expected

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2004)

I just saw this film for the first time. Did not expect much of it, but the versatile story, humor that struck me as well the true professionals Nicholson and Hunt made this drama an enjoyable piece of art. Via this film, I fell in love in Helen Hunt (I wish I met her some day!). Her ability to show various feelings without words is excellent (and heart-breaking). Also Nicholson does his body language in a way only a master can do. Those two great actors had a good balance (too often one superior actor/ actress steals all attention). The happy end was not a surprise, but it was created with a sensitive way not having too much of sugar and sentimentality. I recommend this drama to all romantic people - and to those who wish to be a such.
