I Loved It

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2005)

Oh my goodness, where do I begin? Penelope Cruz was absolutely fabulous in this movie. Nick Cage was even more fabulous. If you are a romantic like myself, you may consider this your all-time favorite romance movie. It starts off kinda of dry but don't let that fool you. Once it starts building, you will stay glued to the screen. It has several twist and turns and the war details are poignant. The movie's previews may be a little misleading in leading you to believe the movie is mainly coverage on WW2; however, this is more a love story and an exhilarating one at that. This is definitely one of my all-time favorite movies. This movie made me fall in love with the mandolin; what a beautiful, quixotic instrument. Anyone who gives this movie a low rating is definitely not a romantic.
